An asm can never be tuned to hang with a BK.Thats like comparing apples and oranges.Theres just to may limiting factors for the asm skimmersI still own and have my asm G4+ running.
Also I am not bashing asm.I am saying that the sedra pumps suck when used as skimmer pumps.They do not pull a sufficient amount of air.Have a lot of you even bothered to read this thread from the absolute beggining?If you do you will see that no one was able to get the sedras to pull any significant amount of air.
The quality build of the asm skimmers is great imo,minus the orings they used.Epmd orings would of been a better choice.

Most Euroreef's no longer come with sedra's.They were replaced with ehiems.Also you most likely did the mod wrong,and is why you saw no performance gain.If you did it to a sedra pump,then you see why I say sedras suck.

First of all do want something that performs right out of the box,or do you want something that you have to mod but wont cost you as much?The sicce psk2500 would be a great choice for out of the box performance.
If you dont want to spend sicce money.Then you can get a oddysea pump for $40 and mod it for another $15 or so and get up to 35-40 scfh air.Your skimmer wil probaly be able to handle up to 50-55 scfh of air.

Personally I think sedras are great for return pumps.Also I never told reefgeek to get a genx pump.The metal exposure for the genx's is with the 2400 I believe.
I have read countless threads on modding pumps,and every single one where someone tried to mod a sedra pump got poor results back.Sorry fellas but sedra pumps will never make it into the great skimmer pump hall of fame

I know a lot of you feel that your skinners are working great,and they probaly are for your particular tank,but if you were to put an air meter to your pump.You would be shocked to see the small amount of air they are pulling.
