Bowel Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 My first DIY skimer. Tank 100ltr + 30ltr sump are underkonstruction. Plexigas tube: fi6cm; height 50+8cm one or two pumps 500l/h+venturi Link to comment
EnderG60 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 that thing looks WAY complex if my conversion is right you have abouta 25g tank and 7.5g sump. if so that thing is so overkill its not even funny. I made this thing which is under 2 feet tall(or about 60 cm) for my 58g and its easily good for 2x that. Link to comment

Bowel Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 to EnderG60 all is on glue. How do you wash cube when it will overgrow? Link to comment
EnderG60 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 all the top clear parts are on a flange that unscrewes and you can reach down there to clean it if simple rinsing doesnt do it. but the way the skimmer works if anything but the top clear parts are getting dirty its not working right, plus any crap that gets in the bottom doesnt effect it much.

sombreroisland Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi EnderG60, mind if you shared schematics on your skimmer? I would really like to learn how to make a skimmer for my 30g and yours looks great... Don't mean to hijack the thread bowel! thanks, sombrero Link to comment
