This is from the ASM site: www.asmskimmer.com/modifications.htm
Hope that helps. The mods are pretty easy to do!

IMO the recirc mod is the most beneficial-- extra dwell time in the chamber. The gate valve mod is up to you, some say they can't do without it because it allows precise control of the exhaust water. I personally did not do this mod. I can control my skimmate pretty well by only adjusting the riser tube that is standard with the skimmer

I never did the mesh wheel mod- that one is also a personal preference IMO. I haven't had any problems with the Sedra needle wheel. The mod is pretty easy, I followed the directions on their site. The only difference is that I did not plum a drain line into the skimmer as they showed, I just added a second pump.
