Interesting. I have a ASM G2 that works great now that its recirculated. I can't say that it doubled my skimmate production but there is a significant increase. Acrylic tubing drills so easily with a hole saw. I've re-circ'd 3 of the ASM skimmers and on all three I've 'eyeballed' the hole location. That being said it is probably better to mark and measure. With the current G2 I'm running I also upgraded from the Sedra 3500 to the 5000.(haven't installed the gate valve mod yet) but the skimmer seems to be working great. The other thing is if you don't find re-circ works for you, it is very easy to put a plug in the hole you made and use it as a drain. I've never heard of buying it as a kit but Delphinus has a great step by step guide made for the meshwheel mod
