Where did you get that injector? I've never seen that before, very cool idea....

CHEAPREEF 03-28-2003 12:14 AM

Made it.

I was wondering, very cool.

I'M DONE!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Well almost. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

Made a new box and glued everything together today. :biggrin:

Just have to find some material to make the gaskets and maybe do alittle more polishing. :biggrin:

Should have it up and running later this week.

Now I just have to make a new sump for it to go in. :mrgreen:

OH and one of those fancy auto shut off collection thingys, too, I guess. :mrgreen:

Cool. :mrgreen: You'll have to post some pics. Got my HOT skimmer done today as well. Just hooked it up to a bucket of water to test it, in freshwater. Worked pretty good, you could tell it was doing the foam thing. So i wanted to run it with salt, no salt mix anywhere to be found so i dumped some reg salt in the bucket. Holy man this thing is going to kick some butt. :turn-l: The hagen 802 is way too much though, i'll have to try a 300gph or less on it. :mrgreen:

Keep us posted, lots of pics...

I'd like to post some pictures,but:

#1. I don't have a digital camera. :frown: (I'll have to see if I can borrow one)

#2. I'm a moron. :mrgreen:

When it comes to using computers I'm lucky I can find this place. :mrgreen:

Post some pictures on your new HOT skimmer. I'd be very interested in seeing how you did it. Is it a spray injector design also?

CHEAPREEF 04-01-2003 05:33 AM

Yep, and i'm in the same boat your in, no camera any more. My buddy finally came and wrestled his away from me. :mrgreen: I might pick up a cheapy in the next week or so, so stay tuned. :squarewi:

Any pictures of the HOT skimmer yet? :biggrin:

I finally got some pictures of my skimmer, but, don't know how to post them. :sad:

I'll e-mail them to you if you want to see them.

I'm just about finished the waste collector for it. :mrgreen:

Now all I need is a pump to run it with. :rolleyes: :mrgreen:
