G3 in the house. I know you'll love it. I don't have the gate valve mod. either. I run mine in about 8-10" of water and it does great. I emptied about that much out of it yesterday Jorgens. That was 4 days worth. These things skim like crazy.

Congrats on the G3! I have a G2 also with the mod, the mod allows you more control over how much back pressure there is. It would be the first thing that I would do to that skimmer. I noticed a huge difference in the skimming capabilities of this skimmer with the mod. I would say it is completely worth it!

Hi everybody!
i was curious as to which pump that you'll are using with the G2 or G3??
I had a G2 with a Seio?? pump that did not work very well at all, i had to
get the pump replaced 3 times. I was really frustrated at that point, and ended up buying a new skimmer, but it does not work as well as my G2 at getting the goop out of the water.....

Well all the ASM skimmers come with their own pump... As for the name of the pump I am not sure.... I am sure it is not a seio though...

Congrats on your new skimmer. You will love it.
I have a g4+ without any mods and it pulls great skimmate. It is a bit of a pain to adjust and I guess that is where the mod comes in, but I am afraid to screw anything up so I am running it the way it came. It's doing a great job on my reef.

Lynn I'm with you on messing stuff up. I don't have the gate valve mod either but my G3 works like a champ. I have to clean the cup 2 times a week and thats with it easily half full. I adjust it to skim wet and leave it be.
