Could someone help me out and send me a link to a place where I can purchase replacement parts. I was taking the pumps off to clean them and totally pulled the plumbing out of the chamber. I have a G-5 with 2 Sedra 9000s, so just want to know if there is a place that sells a replacement for the body. I really like this pump alot but it is delicate.

What would this G3 skimmer be worth?
Has a sedra 5000 as pump modded with recirculation mod.
Gate valve mod with 1.25 inch gate valve.
1" uniseal for feed pump.
Collection Cup elbow fitted for cup drain.
Extra collection cup.
Spare 3500 Sedra pump (could use as feed pump).

Could you describe this modification in more detail or even post some photos? I have a G2 with a stock Sedra 3500. It's been a great skimmer for my 90 gallon, but if I can make it better, I'm game.
i have a g3 with the gate valve mod but want to do the recirc mod. can someone tell me how to do it or give me a link for it and where to find the uniseals. i can't find them anywhere locally. also has anyone that has had a faulty sedra. i've had mine for 2 years and there is a short in it and i know it has to be the pump bc as soon as i unplug it i don't get shocked when i stick my hand in the water.

Oh, I see. Looks like you need a new one. How did that happen?

Get a small piece of 1/8" thick acrylic or pvc sheet and heat it up in the oven til its flexible. Lay it on the side of your skimmer and form it to the curve of your cylinder and let it cool. Use a little weldon pvc703 or something similiar and then just drill a new hole and uniseal it. Much cheaper than a new skimmer.
goochesfish - I was trying to take the Sedra 9000 out to clean it and I pulled a little to hard.
fishoutawater - I may have to try that, the wife isn't to happy about me spending hundreds of dollars at this time. I told her I would try anything cost effective to fix it first, and of course she said that is best for now.

Just spoke with someone at All Seas and they said for me to ship the body back to them and they can fix it by converting it to the newer version. What do you know, didn't know there was a newer version. He mentioned something about a rubber gasket that the elbow connects to!!!! Do you guys have or know about this, I know that mine is a few years old. I hopefully will have this shipped back to them tomorrow.

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out my ASM G4. At least I think it's a G4. It came with a Sedra 9000 which is now toast as the impeller swelled. There is no bulkhead on the skimmer wall - just a hole. I know that the guy I bought the system from was skimming, so I am not sure what happened.
I am pretty frustrated with this, as my soon-to-be-exhusband was the parts and plumbing guy. Since he's gone, I feel really lost. As ASM didn't make any manuals that I can find, I am even more lost.
To complicate matters, there isn't enough clearance to remove the skimmer from the sump, so all plumbing will have to be done in situ. This also eliminates the just-buy-a-new-skimmer option.
I don't even know where to start... I guess a new pump (although reading this thread makes me even more confused - sedra, not sedra, I just don't know. I can't even tell exactly what model this is! )
Help!

Here you go Danielle, see if these parts will help.

Is this an existing tank, sump, and skimmer? Otherwise, how did you get it in there? When the pump is off and the skimmer drains, you really can't tilt it over to get it out?
