Question

My pump on my ASM 2 broke this past weekend. (Seems to be alot of that going around). My question is the ASM 2 comes with the sedra 3500. Could I replace that with the sedra 5000. 'Will it fit along side of it and hook up correctly, Will it be too much power for it. Is there a comparable pump that I could consider.

the 5000 is to much pump for that body

Thanks Chad, Thought I would power it up a bit if I could, But that is good anyway

You can probably get the pump to fit, but like Chad said its too much pump for the skimmer. I'd be afraid that you would spend all of your time trying to dial it in.
