In-Sump Skimmer & Pump

[Deanos]

I have a sump footprint of 12" x 12" available for a skimmer less than 24" high. It'll be used on a LPS dominant 65g reef. If you have one for sale or see one posted somewhere, let me know. Thanks in advance!

probably one of the new Tunze DOC skimmers would be good for you, but those just came out so you wont be able to find one used.

Dean, i use a EuroReef CS5-2 its a good skimmer, 20" high and thats all it needs to remove the cup. Footprint 9X9 http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=ER1211

ASM G3

They've changed the G3's a little. They are supposed to be shorter. I made sure and made this clear when I was on the phone with asmskimmer.com. Hopefully it really is 23.5". I've got a little more than 26" under there, so hopefully it can fit. We shall see tmrw .

23.5"?!?! :scratchch hmmm...I might get that one if a used one doesn't come through. I think I read somewhere the ASMs require less than 1/4" clearance to remove the cup.

Yup, I'll get you a link to the "ASM skimmer club" thread on RC. Thats where I got most of the info on them. Originally the G3's were 25" but they started making them shorter.

I have a similar issue given i have a corner frontbow tank and limited underneath space so I was researching some of the backpack skimmers.

 

[yessongs]

Dean, you said you need a skimmer less then 24" high. Is that including the thickness of the bottom of the sump?
Some tanks are around 3/8"-1/2" off the bottom. Thats why i went with ER a little more money but it has a smaller footprint then the G3 and 0 clearance to remove the cup.

 

[Deanos]

I'll double check Robert . I'm almost sure I measured from inside the sump :scratchch

 

[Deanos]

Remeasured ! Thanks Robert. I actually have more room than I thought. I forgot there's a removable false bottom (1") in the stand; so I can safely get a 24" skimmer. BUMP!

 

[nanoreefer22]

Dean so what skimmer you gonna go with????

 

[Deanos]

I'm watching a couple of Euro-reefs on eBay. If I don't get one here or one of those, it'll be a new ASM.

G3 dimensions

Hey guys, this is Rob from ASMSkimmer.com

All Seas Marine originally published some dimensions, which is what you see all over the 'net, except for our site. I actually measured a G3. is is 9.5 X 12 X 23.5, it needs no more than 1/2 an inch of clearance to remove the collection cup.

I hope this info helps a little.
