EtOH_is_good Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 skim the top off with a cup or something. or use a net. Link to comment
T.J. Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 If you aren't using an overflow that skims the top of the water, I've heard of people using plain paper towel to "skim" the debris off the surface. Try that, it'll help with O2 exchange also!! HTH! Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I'd use a cup and just suck out the layer of film. Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 i use an aquaclear surface skimmer thats in my fuge/sump Link to comment
unforgettableknight Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I just use a paper bowl to tak out water for my weekly water changes. Push the bowl mostly under water then just slightly dip an edge below the surface. All the surface junk will flow into the bowl. takes several times to get out enough water for the water change and by that time, I have no junk left on the surface. Link to comment
doody Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Originally posted by AReeferIsExpensive i use an aquaclear surface skimmer thats in my fuge/sump If it's in the sump/fuge, how does it skime the surface water in the main tank? Do you use an over flow? If so doesnt that skim the surface in the main? I'm just asking cause I have an ac skimmer and plan on useing an ac300 as a fuge, but the ac300 has no way of skimming the surface without the acskimmer, Right? Link to comment
