is that all you got after running for a month or has it been emptied at all ? also where in relations is the skimmer in the sump compared to the drain line ? and i suggest the gate valve mod as well, i use to get that amount a week in my asm3 gate valve and mesh mod, also i shortened my air line tubing to pull a little more air. or so it seemed too

the skimmer is in the same section as the 2 drains.this is what i got in one month with the skimmer set so the foam is at the top of the cup i am going to do the gate valve this weekend and thinking about the recirculating mod too but were di i get the seals for it and how many gph do i have to feed it now.

dont do the recirc mod, i had spoken to the owner of asm, the factory is in ohio about 20 min from my moms house :teeth:, he said that is one mod not needed, even though they show it, he said out of all the mods the gate valve is the best. they do sell the mod even though it doesnt allow you to on the site

i wouldnt raise the skimmer i had mine sitting in the sump not raised. i myself had cut the airline down to the lenght to where 1" stuck out of the holding bracket. with the gate valve you can dial the skimmer in, dont use a ball valve doesnt do as good of a job
