ASM G5 Protein Skimmer - $250

I have an ASM G5 Protein Skimmer that I'm going to be getting rid of.  It's currently in use and should be ready in about 2 weeks.  This skimmer is perfect for people that use a Rubbermaid stock tank for a sump as I have an acrylic shelf built to fit into those tanks to hold the skimmer that will come with it (I will need this for a short time to sit my new skimmer on...so it's no longer included).  This skimmer has been modified to be a recirculating skimmer to get even more performance out of it.  I've been using it for a year and I'm switching to a 75 gallon glass sump soon sumps and this skimmer will not fit into the new sump, so I have to get one with a smaller footprint.  I got brand new impellers for both pumps before I put it into action so this skimmer should be good to go for a long time.  I also have an extra O-ring that goes between the collection cup and the skimmer body.  I lost it in the sump, ordered a new one, then found the old one.
In addition to being modified to being a recirculating skimmer, a gate valve mod has also been added so that you can adjust the water height without getting your hands wet.
If you're interested in checking out this skimmer, let me know and we can arrange a viewing or I can send you pics.
Here's a stock photo of the skimmer:

ASM in-sump skimmers are constructed of extruded PVC tubing and injection molded plastic.

ASM protein Skimmers use needle wheel design on a Sedra pump for to create a finer bubble for highly effective skimming action!

Easy to use! Just set it in the sump, plug it in and adjust the outlet tube!

I'm picking up the EuroReef from Big D.

Give me a chance to get the pics taken tonight and I'll post them to this thread. Sound OK?

I just realized that I'm going to need the acrylic shelf for a while for my new skimmer to go on...until I get my new sump online. If this is an issue for any prospective buyers, please let me know and we can negotiate something that works.

Hey David!  Thanks!  ASM skimmers are great performing skimmers.  They are basically the same design as EuroReef, but made from clear PVC instead of acrylic to bring the cost down.  There's two negative things about that...one, you can't add ozone to the skimmer as it will degrade the PVC over time 2) it's not as clear as acrylic.  The good thing is it's significantly less expensive than equally rated acrylic skimmers (ASM's are about 1/2 the price!) and being made of PVC does nothing to change the performance of the skimmer.  Anyway, if this skimmer fit in my sump, I would keep it because I've been very happy with the performance...but since it won't fit, it's gotta go.  As for height clearance, a person would need about 38" of height clearance as the collection cup twists and lifts off.
This is probably best as a remote sump skimmer like a basement sump or in a fish room behind the tank.  Mine was in the basement so I was able to gravity feed the skimmer.  Worked great!!
And if you're worried about buying too big of a skimmer for your system, don't.  This skimmer is rated for 700 gallons and my system is only about 200.
