    About a year ago I bought a ASM G3 skimmer off of Craig's list. The pump that came with it is the wrong size pump, it is the Sedra 3500. I bought the right pump, Sedra 5000 the problem is the elbow that I was using with the 3500 won't fit on the 5000. Any suggestions to rig a adapter of sorts? Or any other suggestions short of buying a new skimmer.

    I don't know what size/configuration you need for an adapter, but I would bet that your local hardware or plumbing store will have it in PVC.

    I believe the ASM use cheapish ABS plastic pieces.

    Try this:
    ASM Skimmer Elbow for G3, G4X, G5, G6 - 1"
