I later was able to make a cup and neck, but at this time i wanted the skimmer to recirculate, use 4 injector`s, and raise the injector column height.

I took the previous idea of single house for multiple becketts, and stuffed 4 of them in a single 5 " diam housing.

Becketts proved to be easier to work with, and less time consuming so was finally all put together here.

Last but not least, actually..probably not last either. :)

Was as my fellow reefer Tony dubbed it, "Dalek" a monster Dual dart meshwheel skimmer.

Most of its build was posted here.

Man you think of everything. That's awesome.

Ok .. I have to pester you for some details .. :p What's the motor? What material is the wiper thingymabob?

SuperFudge 04-16-2007 08:58 PM

Tony,

The motor is a 4 rpm that i swiped out of a small rotating nano tank that i had sitting here for a year.
it is almost identicle to a BBQ rotissery set up.

I used a bearing set that i routed and inset into the center of the lid.

The squeeges (sp?) are a windsheild wiper replacement blade cut down and held with an acrylic fork that hugs the inside and out of the neck of the skimmer.
