Those skimmers look like they are working great for you. I love how people don't even bother to even attempt to clean the equipment they sell. You can always get more money for something thats cleaned. Now thats good for those of us that need to buy the stuff but dumb for them.
Man I am going to be in the market for a new skimmer soon. Things have really changed since I bought my last one(15 years ago) and I am completely undecided on which one to get. I even thought about just doing a hang on and putting in on my sump. So many choices!!!! Loving my renewed love for the hobby. So glad my 60 gallon blew up so I could set up my 120 salt again. My wife is loving it too!!!! Most of my old equipment was, well old. Time to explore some skimmer designs.
that skimmer is huge and im jealous i only have the instant ocean skimmer on my 75gal 20 gal sump....so ya and for the price that is good.....your video are really good and i love your hot tub tank i really want it...lol
ya i know the sprayer will just spray down the cone so the water will go right back in the system. i've built one before but it didn't work that well because i didn't know where to get these sprayer nozzles. well i've increased the surface contact with the skimmer which is all i wanted. i have a 400 gallon tank and this skimmer was only rated for 450 gallons, so i think i've almost doubled the skimmer capacity which makes me feel better about doing it and my fish and corals should be safer
i was supose to put out three videos this weekend but with this vacation coming this week im running around with my head cut off trying to get the house and tanks ready before i leave
The flow might be a little more then needed in the skimmer. That skimmate looked like it was a little too wet so your gonna be replacing a lot of water over time. And cleaning out that cup even more!
Wow,, a couple of real beasts,, at first I thought there might be a break-in period, even though it is used,, but it seems all is well,, was wondering though,, what happened to the "question of the week" ???
You dont have to have fast flow in skimmers, the hole porpouse of the skimmer is to have the greates amount of time the water in contact with the tension surface of the water (bubbles), so... slow flow, not a bad thing.
the liking part i wont know but would great appreciate the likes since im giving away these awesome prizes. as for the comment i can see there name lol
By the way, carefull with the spay nozzles if you use freshwater. I know a acuaculture company that went crazy with salinity because it was dropping all the time untill they figure out that freshwater was being added by the sprays the whole time...
I only wish I could buy a new skimmer too would do good my system (180g) and adding to it soon now running 2small skimmers that I got but they are small for my system
I saw a video of this guy taking apart PVC that was glue to an elbow on UA-cam. They way he did it was with a heat gun. Maybe you can take apart what the guy glue on that skimmer.
i even ran it for two weeks in the hot tub itself so no really sure. i think it was doing a great job but i like having skimmers that are overrated instead of just meeting the requirements
I am finding alot of my comments I had made on your vids being deleted. The asm g4 is a monster of a skimmer.the cleaner the skimmer is the better it works

Nice skimmer Tyler , with two pumps that's twice the surface contact witch should make that skimmer , skim very well
I've seen diy recirculating skimmers work really good but yours looks like its working great. as is.
I am looking forward to seeing how you modify the top to auto clean the neck with jets. Interesting concept.
ASM skimmers are great. I'm running the G1X on my 120g. Great vid on upgrading the skimmer.
awesome update as always tyler and ill be looking forward too your next one
awesome skimmer i love my asm skimmers
I love craigslist when it comes to that stuff you always find good deals great update man can't wait to see the cube tank

Sweet.

i was supose to put out three videos this weekend but with this vacation coming this week im running around with my head cut off trying to get the house and tanks ready before i leave
its all good. im definitely pushing over 400 if i want to but right now i think i have the tub set around 350 gallons
for me its all the small stuff that makes me happy with my tank, still flippin out that i finally have coralline algae growing hahahaha
looking good
nice little mod good deal aswell i been searching aswell just to try and find good deal for future tank builds myself..

you and me both. ive pretty much built all my systems off craigslist
Wow,, a couple of real beasts,, at first I thought there might be a break-in period, even though it is used,, but it seems all is well,, was wondering though,, what happened to the "question of the week" ???
Great idea man, that things a beast!

I used to have an asm skimmer before it was great!
Great job
great setup

Sweet skimmer man keep it up

i thought so to. the skimmer was only rated for 450 gallons but i think were almost doubling that now
“I was concerned it was too much…or not enough” what a dummy
Yeah that dummy now has a coral farm in the Florida Keys with a saltwater well and no need for a skimmer hahahaha
@@addictivereefkeeping with that “knowledge” of yours…you won’t have it long bc it’ll all be dead.
@thunder21x if you think so bud
Very good skimmer.. But you are doing a lot of wet skimming.. It takes out a lot of good stuff from the salt mix..
I only wish I could buy a new skimmer too would do good my system (180g) and adding to it soon now running 2small skimmers that I got but they are small for my system
I saw a video of this guy taking apart PVC that was glue to an elbow on UA-cam. They way he did it was with a heat gun. Maybe you can take apart what the guy glue on that skimmer.
Good video
Bring on the Jeboa!
thanks Zach
I love what you can get form cregslist. it sometimes scares me
Awesome craigslist deal!
thanks mike
like always nice video
thanks man
CL is amazing, gotta love the stuff you can find and the deals for the hobby.
OK, I'm jealous.
killer skimmer im looking for one for my frag tank hoping i can make a score like that
Love me a good CL deal:)
Nice man
I need a garage to play in!
thanks man. ya itys cam a long way. i think thats the best part of the hobby. my setups are always changing and growing.
ya i know bro if you listen to the end i say i'm wet skimming for the night
ya i know i just saw a freaking 210 gallon tank go for $50 lol
awesome skimmers i have the g2 on my 150 reef tank and its doing amazing on skimming that tank. keep up the cool work man love to see it
Maybe it wasnt preforming right was because it wasnt deep enough in the water
i know me to
awesome awesome idea Ruben thanks and i appreciate the comment
i know how it is. i also like the redundancy of having two running
i was thinking of picking up some 55 gallon poly barrels for filters, but this looks like a pretty solid alternative!
Its your water level high enough.
not really sure.... i think i have enough.. what do you think?
i even ran it for two weeks in the hot tub itself so no really sure. i think it was doing a great job but i like having skimmers that are overrated instead of just meeting the requirements
I commented
Sweet asm.
That thing is skimming great!
thanks buddy I appreciate that. the mod totally changed the performance
sorry greg its actually a 70 gallon
what size rubbermaid is that? a 50?
What did u do to your hand tyler?
Why do you have the egg crate under the skimmer
lol guess i need to listen better! how many total gallons is your whole system?
Looking at a asm g3
I am finding alot of my comments I had made on your vids being deleted. The asm g4 is a monster of a skimmer.the cleaner the skimmer is the better it works
its ok Robert if i see that it has been deleted it will still count as a win
How will you know who has liked and commented on every video ?
Is it loud?
