Any Ideas

I was wondering if any of yall had any suggestions of a good skimmer for my 10g sump/fuge?

If you are going low price I would get a Seaclone and mod it with a bio ball. You can run it in or out of the tank. Used around $25.
How much do you have to spend, what kind of footprint do you have in your sump.
Reefdad has a Seaclone that kicks butt. I have had few over the years and some work great and some just suck.

yeah i was thinking about one of those seaclones. i did some research about them on the net and they seem to be getting negative mixed reviews like you said. I have not finished constructing the sump/fuge yet. i need to call roanoke glass so they can cut me a few pieces. i was thinking that. lets see im using a 10g for my sump so that is 20in long so i was thinking a 4 to 5in space for the skimmer/sock area. i guy at UA helped me draw out a model to base it off of.

I have a Seaclone modded a bit differently in my 20 gal sump , it runs on over 110 gals and kiks @$$ ... I also have another laying around that we could mod or get modded ... Let me know

yeah that would be nice if you could spare the other seaclone you got laying around, im not too sure about how to go about moding it. but let me know what you want for it. thanks -morris

It needs a pump , but they aren't very expensive.... If you want it you can have it for "future considerations and a player to be named later" ...lol ... Just a frag down the line if that is cool with you ... Let me know ... also .. There is a guy on these boards that did my mod and I love it... Maybe I can talk him into doing another ... Or I can give it a shot lol ... Lets hope he comes through lol

hey that sounds great i really appreciate it. what exactly needs to be modified on the skimmer. let me know when we might be able to make an exchange, again i really appreciate it, and there will definitally be frags down the line when i get all set up

 

[NbMaxx13]

Well ... You could take it as is , w/ no mods and just throw a pump on it .. Or we can do this Mod I have on mine , it works incredibly .... What size system you goin with?

Anyhow , anytime you want to get it is fine with me ...

 

[Phish4081]

it would be going in a 10g sump which is connected to a 20 long, If the mod makes it work that much better that would be great. would i need to get any materials for ya to do the mod. let me know i do have class tomorrow so i am free all day. again i really appreciate it. -morris

The Mod requires an air stone and a Air pump ... I have an air pump I can seel you for a few dollars , brand new... I will call to see about getting it modded today...

 

[Phish4081]

ok that sounds great i just let me know if i need to run to the store to grab and airstone

 

[Phish4081]

hey, i was wondering if we could maybe meet up this weekend so that i can grab the skimmer from you. again i really appreciate the help and i should be stocking with some frags sometime in the near future, so i will let ya know what i manage to pick up. thanks again -morris
