AC70 skimmer mod


BayStYat

Recommended Posts

Total cost $2.30

 

1 3/4 T

1 3/4 90

1 6inch length of 3/4 pipe

Black Fusion paint

 

I cut the factory filter ends off both supplied tubes and fit them in the T and 90, also cut the main tube the length of the T

 

It skimms super fast. When I stir up the new sand I can watch the fine dust get pulled in at a high rate of speed.

Ok I reworked the skimmer. I ordered a SUNSUN/Aquatop replacement intake tube with skimmer. I got the idea from my freshwater set up.

 

I paid $6 dollars for it. I used a pvc reducer to reduce the intake tube to the AC70 intake tube.

 

The skimmer has a self adjusting skimmer neck. WORKS AWESOME!
