Greetings all,
I have a few questions for ASM skimmer owners, as I am seriously looking at buying one of these. [A G3 for a 180g system. (Net 205g with the sump)].
- I have read on ASMSkimmer.com some comments about the Sedra 5000 pump being rather noisy. I'm interested in hearing what CanReefers think about this. Would you agree? Is there an alternative, quieter pump that a G3 could be run on?
- What's the purpose of the gate valve mod? Easier adjusting?
- What's the purpose of the recirc mod?
- Are either of these mods
really necessary?
- How do you adjust the skimmer without the mod(s)?
(I see in a picture of a G3 what looks like a knob way down where the airline meets the pump. Is this an adjusment knob? If so, that'd be kinda hard to reach!)
- Has anyone modified their collection cup to feed a seperate bucket? Any problems there?
Finally...
- Are you happy with it?
Thanx much and cheers,
PS....Kyle (Renegade)....what did you decide to go with?
