Have a G3, works totally fine for my 145g.
The only big negative I keep seeing on them is they leak, not a problem if in your sump (and I think leak is a little harsh, weep a tiny little bit might be more correct).

Tom R has a GX5 model that he loves & he convinced me that I needed a G3 model for my set up. I have it skimming 2 tanks with a total volume of over 150g no problem. Lots of dark, stinky skimmate. He has it running on over 300g total volume & he always raves about his ASM skimmer.
Excellent plug & play in-sump skimmer. Great bag for the buck IMO. Anthony

As Antony said, I have the ASM G5X and it is the best skimmer I have ever used. I use to use a PM Bullet II which was a good skimmer, however the ASM outperforms it with the following advantages. It is the easiest to clean, it is very quiet, it uses a fraction of the electricity and it is truly plug and play. Down side is I have been told that they are not to be used in a system using OZONE. The retrofits of gate valve and recirculation are easy to do and work as well as many of the super expensive skimmers.

That's fine ASM state that they are OZONE safe. I would still use caution as they are made from what looks like plastic not cast acrylic like a EUROReef. If you are or want to use OZONE I would consider moving up to EUROReef.
