ASM G2 Skimmer

[tcoker79]

I have read several threads but none that exactly answer my question. I recently picked-up a 90g Reef Ready tank and the original owner also threw in the skimmer. After getting everything home and cleanup I realized the the pump is no good. I was going to buy a replacement but have seen some posts recommending the sendra 5000 rather than the 3500. The pumps are $99 and $75 respectively. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend a Sicce PSK 600 or 1000 personnally

I'm still quite new at this so I apologize for my ignorance. Are those different pumps or totally different Skimmer because the Skimmer is in great shape.

They are pumps and for the price they are a great deal

Are the pumps that much better? They seem to be about 20% more expensive, are they really worth the extra cost?

I have a g3 with a sedra 9000 off of a g4X on it. Works like a champ. I would go with the 5000.

OK, you guys have made the pole a tie. Anybody have anything to add or want vote.

Sedra 5000 for sure on a G2 and do the gate valve mod to control the water level.

I have the 5000 on my G3 and love it.

honestly i think the 5000 will be to much for the g2 as i had tried that route and cause's to much turbulance, and yes the sicce is a way better pump uses less watt's and produces alot more air
