RandyX Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm gonna make a DIY airstone skimmer out of this smart water bottle if I can get it to fit if not I'm gonna find something smaller Quote Link to comment
RandyX Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't know if the smart water bottle will fit may just turn into my collection cup gonna try this Minute Maid bottle Quote Link to comment
RandyX Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 So I finished the skimmer I'll start a diy thread if anybody wants to know how to do this skimmer I spent under $40 i think the air stone I'm using is too big for the bottle but I'm gonna test it out and get a smaller one if I have too 1 Quote Link to comment
hinnenkm Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You've got some nice looking corals! The jack-o-lantern piece is a leptoseris though, not a chalice, they are super cool! I'll be interested to see how your skimmer works as well! 1 Quote Link to comment
