Here, not the best pictures but should give you an idea.
http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthr...&highlight=pf4 I used two layers in my Sedra 5000, which was all that would fit. Had there been more room I would have tried for 3. I tried fishing line to attach at first but my fingers weren't nimble enough for little tiny knots so I just used two zapstraps instead. Hope this helps.

Say Tony
Did you also mod your ASM G3 to be a recirculating skimmer. Tom R

Tony when you said the word from "so so" to "wow" that makes me feel I can not wait any longer to do the mesh mod .... but unfortunately the guy at work who is saying he has PF4 was giving me a wrong kind of material. Can you tell me what you are using in your skimmer so at least I can do it right now instead of waiting to find PF4 in Canada. Every store I called today they do not carry it, only in US ... can't believe it !

I am going to take the plunge, but first I have been warned to get a gate valve before the mesh (thanks Christy
 ). When I get to it I will take some pics and report back with my results.

Check ebay - there might be some enkamat/pf4 sellers on there.
I think Fudge used gutter guard on his skimmer but he was using a Dart pump if memory serves (much larger volute than these Sedras).. Quote:

It needs a gate valve because of the excess bubble production, the older models like mine (a CS6-2) only had a pipe that you could use to set the water level at 2 different places, this wasn't low enough and the skimmer just overflowed constantly. With the gate valve you can finely set the water level much lower and it won't overflow.
