Without labor that skimmer cost me 965 bucks.

 

[brandon0350]

holy crap. how much did the pumps cost?

 

[loc01]

You are welcomed. That looks very nice(good job Yinger). Anyway it's still much nicer in person. Hey I took the 90 off and mount the pumps shoot straight in the chamber it works a lot better now, maybe I should video mine and post it next to yours. How about that?

I did not claim i built that skimmer. Loc01 is the Handy man. I can't even draw a straight line . But it was my ideal to built it that way. No worry, i am not fighting f0r my props. I just sit back and enjoy the benefit. hahahahaha

Loc, you should post some pics of your skimmer and a video.

Compare to Deltec Protein skimmer replace pump eheim 550 bucks a pop. What is the different? Deltec use router to make the face plate bigger. H&S Eheim is special made (molded) no router action on it. No different in performance . I am happy with what i have.

Looks good Steve, awesome work Loc.

Nice setup! I'm thinking of a custom skimmer as well. Do you know how much lpm of air you are getting on each Eheim's venturi air intake?

I'm the one you ran into Marine Depot will call the other day. Hope you did not break any more bulbs

 

[Jar*Head]

Thanks SPS_addict.

Cthetoy, each pump pulling between 15-17lpm. I already learn my lesson, no more broken bulb. It worthies to spend a little more but you will safe on electricity, noise and bubble quality.

Here is my internal. It powers by 2 Eheims hobby pumps with Sedra NW mod.

And a video...

By the way, your protein skimmer working much better now. Congrats. other people think we are crazy or may be stupid but i think it work really well.

 

[brandon0350]

Hey, finally i got the JBJ solenoid to work. But i think i may be missing something on the Milwakee. I will talk to Eric tomorrow may be i will return the solenoid. anyway, you protein skimmer improved alot since the last time i look at it. Did you put something in the water.
