A few more setup shots. As you can see, my design is sleek yet still compact and fit just right. It doesn't take up a lot of your tank space yet still allowing surface scum to be pulled in just at the perfect level, which is adjustable by moving the box up and down to fine tune the overflow level.

That is awesome , I always had trouble with the angled section when I tried to make my own. I eventually gave up and broke out the drill.

 

Nice work .

Thank you! The v grove is the most difficult part of the design, it has to be exactly at the right angle for this to fit perfectly as well as the spacing from front to back. I have gone through multiple prototypes to ensure perfect alignment before the production version, which is why it took me a while to get it out, I didn't want to rush it out just to be able to make some quick sales. I'd only offer a solid design that has been fully tested so I'd not have to go back to the drawing board later and I'd prefer only positive feedbacks

Where does one put an ATO with surface skimmers? In the display still?

Adding a small ATO system such as the Smart ATO Micro is possible within the box but im not sure if the strong overflow would have any negative affect on the sensor. If someone can verify this, I'd love to know. However including extra space for an ATO system that uses a large sensor or float switch isn't the main function of this surface skimmer and in order to keep the design compact and low profile.

For those of you who's not running an Auto-Top-Off system or manually topping off evaporated water. New units are now being shipped with a hole on the bottom, this will temporarily keep the filter from running completely dry and start making loud gurgling noise which will alarm you it's time to top off the tank.

 

Remember it is not suppose to be running this way and ideally you would want to top off your tank one way or another to keep the water parameter stable in order to keep your corals and fishes in good health, however this will give you a bit of overhead if you forgot to top off or if the ATO is malfunction.
