Skimmer Choice

[Jaylivi1212]

I'm currently deciding between a Bubble Magus Curve 5 or a Eshopps Axium 120. I have a 110G tank.

My vote would go to the bubble magus

Marine Depot has two reviews where customers switched from BM to Eshopps and like the Eshopps much better

They were specifically referring to the Esshops Premier series but the S120 and X120 likely will perform the same, same pump

I think the bubble magnus is a better skimmer, looks a little sturdier too. The eshopps does have a smaller footprint, but not by much.

I was looking into an asm g1 for the time being as I’m getting it for $50 from a close friend

Well dang, that's not a bad deal at all. Hope it goes well for you! That's a steal for a ~$280 skimmer.

It’s used with a brand new pump

I would probably go with the Axium 160 on that tank size.

I bought an ASM G2 with a brand new pump for $100
