For Sale: ASM G5 Skimmer that's been modified to be a recirculating skimmer for better skimming performance.  Similar design and performance as a EuroReef skimmer, but since it's made of extruded PVC & injection molded plastic vs. acrylic, it's less expensive.  Uses two Sedra 9000 pumps.  In sump skimmer.  8 1/2" body,  36" tall, rated at 700 gallons.  Excellent as a basement or remote sump skimmer, but probably not so much for a in-stand setup as it would not fit into most stands.  Excellent skimmer.  I had to change to a shorter skimmer due to a sump reconfiguration which made it impossible for me to continue using this skimmer.  Both impellers were replaced about 6 months before this was removed from service so they are in excellent condition (as pictured below).  Let me know if you have any questions.

For an extra $50, I have a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank, with a custom acrylic shelf for the skimmer to sit on to put it at just the right water level.

Sold yet. Will you ship.

Hello all...
I'm John... not new to reefing, but new to your site.

I bought the skimmer from Aaron, and he was so gracious to ship it to San Diego, CA. Yet, we had a problem during shipping, and the two Sedra 9000 pumps are broken. They needed to be wrapped in bubble wrap, on top of the air pouches and popcorn Aaron added to the huge box. The space in the box, allowed the pumps to bump around and broke where the volute connects to the body. Probably because the intake and output had long pieces of 1" PVC glued to them and the leverage allowed the pump body to break.

None-the-less.... Aaron started a Fedex claim on 4/7. He didn't provide Fedex the proper paperwork for more then 12days (or so I found out after I called him to discuss the delays in getting the claim processed - Fedex claims 5-7 days for full term of claim). I asked every few days for a status, and didn't get much communication back. I ended up calling him a couple times over the past 30 days, to find out he didn't know what to do for proof of receipt. Or how to get Fedex the proper information they needed to process the claim. I offered some suggestions more than 10days ago over a phone call, and haven't heard back since!!

I've called twice, and left voice mails.... I've emailed 3-4 times, and still to this day.... no reply.

AARON.... ARE YOU AVOIDING ME!?! I see you logged into the site here 3 days ago (per your profile), so I know your alive and able to get online. I thought the worst, and that you were sick or in the hospital. But, it seems you are not... or, at minimum your able to get online. So why are you completely avoiding me at this point???

Initially I even sent you paypal payment, using "personal gift" because you sent me your eBay feedback profile showing me your 100% positive feedback. Now I have no recourse to get my money back or to at minimum pay for the two broken pumps. At this point, I'm screwed.... AND, I trusted you... and I trusted that you'd see this through until the end. Yet, I'm starting to feel like your over the problem, and just decided to go dark. Hence me coming on your for sale thread, and asking for you to not do so... and to resolve this amicably.

I hope that you see this message... and you get a hold of me to correct this problem, and see this through to the end. (You know my emails, and my mobile number)

Thanks,
Johnny
