    If its not already done, I would recommend you look into the mesh and recirculating mods for that G3. I have them all done on mine and its skimming like a champ. Thats a funky looking 150, what are the dimensions? +1 on the great looking equipment BTW

    You have a link for the mesh mod ? The tank is L 48.5 x W 24.5 x H 29. Thanks for the kind words all. ;D The only thing not here yet is 6105's and sand.

    this thread seems to have a nice write up and pictures.

    I did the ASM G3 mesh wheel mod (many pics) - WAMAS Forums

    I have mine set up like a recirculating skimmer, and its fed by a return line from my sump. I'm planning to run this same skimmer (only adding a second recirculating sedra 5000) set up this way on my next upgrade which will be over 300g but it will also have a 60 gallon refugium.
