Protein Skimmer ID

[Peter Hall]

This protein skimmer came with the tank and I have no idea what brand it is. It pulls out a ton of crap so I guess it works. The only problem is that the pump is pretty loud so I'm looking into switching that out. Would any pump work?

Looks like a asm skimmer does it have a sedra pump?

No idea what pump it is but looks like a G-300? I dont see any marking on it that would say what it is.

If you measure the height, width, footprint of skimmer you can look it up and see what exactly it is and what pump it uses. Its definitely an asm skimmer.

Seems like its a asm G-1. would a new pump be quieter?

I dont think its a mini asm dont they have the pump under the skimmer ?

So ideas on getting it quieter?

I suggest fitting a new effecient pump and it should be good. Most likely the impeller magnet is slightly warp causing the loud noise

Would you have any suggestions for pumps?
