the only thing i like more about the tunze is that it has an air intake for the foam or bubbles were is the others i would have to mod them. just let me know what you think. the size of the skimmer is jus the same as the sapphire so go off thier setup.

thanks a lot Jeremy
 
does the ehiem have an air inlet so i can feed it air for the skimmer? i think the tunze do but not the rest of them.
 
sorry i still have to put the tube in the bottom of the skimmer and in the cup. and add the pump but i tested it out and it fits in the 12 gal nano cube. ill let you all know how it works out when i get the other 2 parts.
 
thanks a lot ill get better pic when it is up and running and then ill get you the detailes also. ill wait on them to see how it works but for what i have done sofar it took just a little time to cut the plexi glass from lowes and to drill the holes. and a few min to mock up the mesurments from the sapphire skimmer.
