My new Geo skimmer will come with a funnel and a few air stones The skimmer is 8 in dia with a 12 in dia collection cup . SL -22 air pump will be out side . Iwaki MD15RLT will be used as a flow through pump The skimmer design is for high output and low ele watts It will take a total of 80 watts per hour to run the skimmer at a cost of $4.50 per month.This is to replace the beckett skimmer i have used for some time.

The beast is finally alive!!!! I replaced the bulkhead that had split and did not even have to cut the air stone manifold! That was so sweet to do as it would have been a major pain in the rear. Here are a couple of shots. I was going to run it and take pictures at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hours and 1 week time. However, there is this freaking hurricane Wilma coming tonite. I turned it on for a little while only to see it run. The amount of air that those stones put out is insane. I had to bleed the air pump tremendously to be able to get the tiny bubbles, and even then it is impressive. I will have to get a different air bleed valve to be able to dial it much easier. Maybe something like a 1/2" John Guest fitting valve. For now, this will do.
After the hurricane is over tomorrow, I will take the air lines apart and glue them as they are now just fitted by hand for a trial run. Then, it is foam time baby!!!!!! Oh, I also need to come up with a much more sophisticated collection device than the temporary one I have below.
