jaygalindo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 so with what you got done today, when do you think they will be done? Link to comment
erickrm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 honestly i cant do all of them at the same time, so what im thiking is im going to be making them 5 at a time..... and it takes a few hrs to weld.... so with luck i should be done with most if not all the tanks by the end of the weekend..... My wife actually wants me to turn the attic into the master bedroom but then i wont have any work area lol.... we shal see what happens once im done. Link to comment
Doc Frye Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 My heart is aflutter. I can't wait to cradle this baby in my arms when I take it out of the box. God's speed, Eric! Thanks, and keep us posted. Link to comment

lajz9 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Erick can you confirm? RE: Aquatic Life Mini skimmer The width of the skimmer is 3" and the back of the tank is 3" but I talked to Erick and he is making the tanks 3.25" to accommodate this. Link to comment
Doc Frye Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I need confirmation too. My skimmer has the same footprint, and it appears that Eric is planning to accommode. Thank you Eric. Do we need to start a list of 3.25 back wallers too? Link to comment
lajz9 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 FYI if you're looking at the AquaticLife Mini Protein Skimmer, marinedepot.com has it for $60 with a code on the page for 20% off through 8/31. Link to comment
nosser Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 pichers!! awesome!! I am excited!!! Yeah Erick, your pm said that you would make the tank 3.25" in the rear.. It seems now that a few people are interested in the same skimmer! I do remember that he said a tunze 9002 would fit no problem though... Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Erick can you confirm? RE: Aquatic Life Mini skimmer The width of the skimmer is 3" and the back of the tank is 3" but I talked to Erick and he is making the tanks 3.25" to accommodate this. Did he say he is making all the tanks with the 3.25" or just those who ask him? Link to comment
harthag12 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Did he say he is making all the thaks with the 3.25" or just those who ask him? Waiting to know this as well, I'm eyeing that skimmer to w/ the 20% off. Link to comment
jaygalindo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 looks like everyone is going with this skimmer, except bob Link to comment
erickrm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Posting from a blackberry so bare with me, the back chamber will measure 3"X7" so it should def fit back there. I will try to make it so that its actually s bit mpre than 3" keep in mind this is for everyone that wants the original design. Everyone else will have a 3"X 4" are so that you can put your media basket in. Thanks Link to comment
spanko Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Not in the contest here but thought I would throw this in. I have a biocube 29 gallon. The back chamber is 3" wide and the aquatic life skimmer fits in there extremely tight. I would suggest you go 3.25" to be safe. Just sayin. Link to comment

scooternerd Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 looks like everyone is going with this skimmer, except bob i will not be using that skimmer either Link to comment
CallMeDrLove Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 i will not be using that skimmer either I'm not in the contest any more, but I won't be using that skimmer. Or any other skimmer for that matter. I just plan on doing my water changes. With such a small volume of water, I think a skimmer is a little overkill. Link to comment
jaygalindo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 thanks for your non contest input Link to comment
CallMeDrLove Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 thanks for your non contest input You're welcome. Thank you for your contest gratitude. Wait a second...was that sarcasm? You clever little man, you got me good! Link to comment
jaygalindo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 the thing is drlove, you are one of the most active people in this thread and you backed out, but are still putting up a big effort to stay involved. you say you dont like the dims. of the tank but we all haven't even put are hands or eyes on one yet, i think you would be great for the competition, even though you are from east TN.
