Thanks Asureef - Tell me about it - I was not happy this morning. You will like the Sunburst / mine was active and always swimming around the tank. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 SC-65 Skimmer - I recieved it about two weeks ago but did not get a chance to set it up because I was in Orlando . Just got back on Sunday. But I found time yesterday to modify the SC-65 to fit in my rear chambers. Skimmer: Removed Leg: Cutting Down The Width / Base of the Skimmer: Shaving The Base: Leg Re-glued: Re-assembled Skimmer With Egg Crate Stand: Set-up And Already Skimming in about 6 Hours: Link to comment

ReefMedic79 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do you have an estimate on the footprint of your SC-65 after you modified it. I'm in the market for a nano skimmer trying to find one to fit in a space no bigger than 4x6in. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do you have an estimate on the footprint of your SC-65 after you modified it. I'm in the market for a nano skimmer trying to find one to fit in a space no bigger than 4x6in. A rough estimate after the modifying I did is 3.85 x 6.5 as the the skimmer chamber is only 4 x 7. But I did notice that you can shave off a little from the air intake cap that goes over the pump but I dont think it's more then .25 as it still needs to be able to attach to the pump. You can try and shorten the water outlet pipes from the skimmer but not to sure if that will work or not because it has to match up the with the hole for the water level. Hope this helps.

evo_2679 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Did a water change on Sunday and this was what the SC-65 skimmer pulled out from 12/15 - 12/18. Only three days of skimming : Link to comment
iball1804 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 That's gross stuff. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 And this was the amount of skimmate from 12/18 to 12/21 : Also changed my T5 bulbs today running -3 Blue+, 2 Aquablue special, 1 purple plus - with 3 pieces of eggcrate over the top to acclimate the coral SLOWLY.

JoelRHale Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hey, cool tank I'm pulling a similar about of skimmate too, makes you never want to go skimmerless again, doesn't it? Link to comment

Electrobes Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Man I had to check out your thread, I love that wall you created to make it an AIO! Wish I had thought of that earlier. Link to comment

evo_2679 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 This Saturday one of my submersible fuge lights went out. I would have tried to replace the bulb but the wire was corroded, so I made my own fuge light that I mounted behind the tank with some Velcro. The only real hard part was going behind the tank to scrape some of the paint off with a razor. Below are the pics of the fuge light build. Corroded Light: Burnt Out Light: 4" ABS Cap: Cap Drilled: Bulb Socket Fitted: Wired: Light Tested: Taped & Bulb Socket Glued in Place: Velcro Added: CFL Bulbs: Fuge: Link to comment

evo_2679 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 How do you like your skimmer. Is it easy to tune. I love my skimmer. Once you have it set / or dailed in (which is pretty simple) right now I have it set at 3.5 basically between the 3 & 4 mark on the skimmer. This thing pull some of the most awful smelling gunk I have seen. But once dailed in a set it and forget skimmer. Well worth the money. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 MODs - please close thread. My 40 breeder will be broken and sold as I am moving...but I will be starting another smaller tank but rimless!!!! Link to comment
