    The g4 and g5 did not come with a sedra 3500.Are you sure its not a g2?
    The g4 should have a sedra5000.

    Is it new? has it been broken in? In addition i know my skimmer spits out micros when i put on fresh filter socks that had never been used before.

    have not put it into use yet, just did a leak test on my new sump refugium and threw it in for shigrins. as far as i know it has never been in a tank or even run for that matter. I bought it used and had to get a new pump for it, sold with out pump to me.
