DIY 6" O.D. recirc skimmer.....halp me !! :)

Great Job. My only suggestion is that the collection cup CAP "center acrylic circle" should be slightly below the center overflow Pipe to maximize skimming (Like the picture). Otherwise it really serves no purpose.

I forgot to add that this is when it was first installed. I have since modded the nw pumps to mesh mods. It is always full of skimmate, and the skimmer works great. It is about 6 feet tall as I got the tubing for about nothing, and rather than make it wider, I opted to go taller for contact time. I am running two recirc pumps and an input pump off the main sump. You should be able to view the entire build thread, if you want. Good luck with your build!
