Wow!, impressive pump.

Torsten Luther tried this pump on a modified Bubbleking 500 and it was extremely impressive as I'm sure your skimmer will be!. I was going to make the mod on my BK500, but it involved cutting acrylic, so I wouldn't take the risk!.

An amazing tank and setup Marie! Glad to see these wonderful Canadian tanks.

I'm thinking that I may have met your boyfriend at MACNA last year. I don't see Marinetech with a booth this year...are you attending or did it not turn out in Does Moines?

 

[tipou]

today we did the leak test and I'm happy to tell you that there's not one little leak, everything work fine

and then we add some pollution to the water, to see how he would do... see for yourself

 

[mseepman]

Wow...nice work on the skimmer! Looks like it works really well!

what a great build. Thanks for sharing it with us

Let me repeat myself : impressive skimmer.

If you dont mind me asking, how have you glued main skimmer body to the bottom plate? I can see you have cut out a groove on the plate so i assume you have put the main skimmer tube into the groove and then used solvent to bond the pieces together.
I also see you have used hot air gluing technique to glue brackets that hold air tubes to the main skimmer body.

Can i ask you how much the skimmer cost you to make (not taking in to account the man-hours required).
