what do you think of the skimmer so far?

Well I wasn't sure about the skimmer as it took some time to get it dialed in just right and had to add a 90* elbow upwards to the output pipe but after one day of it running just the way I want it looks like this..........

Got the top part of the stand done over the last couple days as well, still have to get something to lift open the front for tank access hopefully tomorrow.

Seriously killer looking!!!!

What sized check valve/output plumbing are you running on those return pumps in the background of your skimmate collector?

Thanks Bro.... the check valves are 1 1/2" but then has to go to 1" for the SCWD and remainder of the returns.

Thanks Brett, no hardware going on the doors at all as the mag locks work as door knobs.

I have a video of the latest add on to the cabinet but cant figure out how to embed it properly, can anyone tell me how please.
