coralife skimmer or ASM?
I'm trying to decide between the ASM skimmer or the coralife skimmer. I have a 65g and i have a homemade skimmer right now, i don't like it sucks allot! i have to clean it once a week for it to even make enough bubbles, and when it's working it still sucks lol. so i'm decided between these two mainly because i hear they are both great products and they are within my price range of around 100 bucks 
coralife> http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/209793/product.web
ASM> http://www.fish.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=...ccode=FSHFRGLE
Which one would you go with, which one works the best, in your opinion. thanks all!

Out of those 2 choices I would go with the ASM hands down.
But! I like the idea of getting the octups a little better.

go with the octo. Wayyyyyyy better bang for the buck and honestly as I have seen both run I don't think there's much of a difference in performance at all.

If I were going to do a hang on I would do a coralife super skimmer or aqua c but octo does make a hang on

Out of the two choices, I'd go with the ASM - much better than the coralife. The price is excellent too. Octo nw200 is better than both of those but is also more expensive ($200) and bigger.
