prada Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I found a photo with the parts I will be needing but Im not sure what size they are and how to assemble it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Here is a website that lists parts, but I think it's for an ASM G2: http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f218/asm-g2-gate-valve-mod-97084.html The parts should be the same, though, just in the appropriate diameter. And in this thread you can see a gate valve mod put together, if you scroll down a bit. http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/diy-projects/2001-my-uber-skimmer-asm-g-3-modification.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
