Shooter7, give me a shout. I'd love to show off the tank.

 

[Shooter7]

wow...I dunno. After taking a quick look at your gallery, I'm afraid your stuff is all way too organized and neat. I'm not sure I could handle the feelings of inadequacy compared to my setup I would be experiencing. :lol:

Thanks everyone!

I'm running a Kentec Model 23,457.......Actually, It's just DIY

"Just" a DIY?? That looks like the DIY of DIY's.

 

[kentrob11]

Nah- It's works pretty darn well but if you want to see the DIY of DIY's, check out some of the Dart skimmers in the DIY forums...Freakin sweet!

HOLY Skimmer's Batman!

Jeeze look at that thing!! it's a beast!

don't tell me your running that on a 29gal tank LOL

I'm not even sure where to begin anymore... at this point having two skimmers is working, and you know what they say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"... I think I'm going on hold off on my new skimmer for now.

how much it cost you to make that skimmer?

 

[kentrob11]

About $1500 including a few things I messed up along the way....

Is that really you Johnny-5?

 

[kentrob11]

Heh- good one JX- Yeah it really was close to $1500. Considering the fact that the Deltec model it's based on is almost $4K, I think it's pretty good . It pulls 3200LPH of air (200 more than the Deltec) and it also has a wetneck with a removable top as well as a collection cup spraydown system so from a cost perspective it was a pretty good value. It doesn't really make sense how much it actually costs to build something like this until you actually do it.

yeh, i didnt see how big it was in those pics, the ones in your gallery with scales like your kid show its size much better. you do incredible work. one day i'm gonna contract you for a huge skimmer the size of my water heater.

Heh- Better save your money up then! That thing won't be cheap
