Probably not, you can run it but I'd rate it closer to 100 gals..My CS6-3 was rated for 125 tops just a few years ago.

The standard pump iswas a Sedra 3500 on the CS6-2...ASM just rates thier skimmers higher then ER...they are both about the same.

The ASM G3 and the CS6-2 are the same skimmer, give or take a fraction or two. They use the same pump, same needle wheel, same size skimmer body. The ER is rated for tanks up too 125, the ASM is up 250.. Lets say I start making skimmers that are just like the two mentioned but I call em Widget skimmers and rate em for tanks up to 10,000 gals...does that make em better?
If it makes you feel better, just get a Sharpie and write ASM on it
