ASM Skimmer Club!

[ndwatso]

I got a asm skimmer g4.(I think) for free. It has a mod on it. I think it's a recirc mod(there is another hole a little over front the other hole.) still need to buy the sedra for it since the one I was given is completely locked up.

Question: can I just plug the recirc mod and everything will run smoothly?

yes, did the recirc mod to mine and didnt like it. I just plugged the holes. Works great now

Awesome, thanks!

Does anyone know where to get ASM skimmer bodies without any pump? I already have my own pump and getting a skimmer with a pump wouldn't do me any good and just cost me a bunch more.

I think I will try Champion Lighting and Supply.

How can I tell if my skimmer is a g4 or a g4plus. I do not have the sedra and need to buy one and need to know which one to get.

I think the only difference is in the collection cup. You could get away with the sedra 5000 or 9000 model for the G4 or G4+

i run a G4xx on a sedra 9000 for my 200 gal system.

 

[ca1ore]

Thought that the G4 bodies were all the same and the various designations just reflect the different pump sizes? G4 sedra 5000, G4+ sedra 9000, G4xx sedra 15000, and so on ....

 

[DRThompson]

My G4xx is 30in tall. Not sure of the specs for G4 and G4+, you might be right about the pumps being the difference though.

 

[Hodge1995]

I was thinking the bodies were the same as well it only was a pump difference. I have the g4+

Well I bit the bullet and bought a skimmer with pump. Now I have a heavily modded G3 for sale.

 

[djmx2002]

does anyone have the manual? i got asm g5 used few months back, and will use it on a new tank build *265g

 

[cherubfish pair]

AFAIK, there is no manual. My new G1x didn't come with one.

 

[Misled]

I didn't get one, but just ask. Or look back on this thread.

Ah bummer... I am starting to design my new tank, and not sure how deep should the sump section needs to be

 

[Misled]

I keep my G3 about 9 inches. Maybe someone will see this that has a 5.

 

[DRThompson]

Have a g4xx which I think is the same height as g5 (30"). I keep mine in 11" of water. Hope this helps
