I am getting a 90 gallon with a ASM2 but the pump does not work. I have the SCW 160 and like it a lot but it may be a little small and I have not aversions to upgrading to the SWC180 or some other skimmer.

What would you do?

I have a 90 heavy stocked and I use the Skimz SK181 cone. I absolutely love it. It is dead silent and really pulls out the nasty. Great price also for the performance.

I am a fan of the ASM, I got rid of my PM Bullet 1 skimmer for an ASM G4 on my 75 and couldn't be happier with it's performance!

I have heard horror stories on the SWC pumps, i know they might not happen to everyone, but might be worth looking into.
