DCG1286 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sorry I can't give you any plans on building one...but if you haven't already, send a PM to the maker of those skimmers, I am sure you can get the blueprints from him Good Luck! -David Link to comment
KMitch Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 just a heads up, small skimmers have been tried time and time again and fail for one simple reason. You need the length of the reaction chamber for the bubbles to separate. Link to comment
jmigchelbrink Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I just made one of the skimmers from undertheradars designs. I dont think hes posting here anymore, but all the info is in that thread. Just modify the design to fit your needs. Link to comment
nate_j Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 KMITC, how long do you think the tube needs to be, does it have to be a certain length out of the water for the seperation to happen properly? ANNND HAS ANYONE, ever made a skimmer for a biocube in particular??!?! that would really help out my cause and lack of engineering. thanks everyone who has posted so far Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 water changes are all your going to need in a tank that small... and if your really have to have a skimmer just buy your self a Sander Piccolo Protein Skimmer its cheap and small and you wont have to do any trouble shooting (provided you can get it to work right) Link to comment
