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. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...e/May25003.jpg Becketts proved to be easier to work with, and less time consuming so was finally all put together here. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...May25058-1.jpg Last but not least, actually..probably not last either. :) Was as my fellow reefer Tony dubbed it, "Dalek" a monster Dual dart meshwheel skimmer. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...Skimmer048.jpg Most of its build was posted here. http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30974 Marc. |

|
What will you think of next, An auto-cleaner for the auto-cleaner.:mrgreen:
Seriously good job. |
Jeez mark... your insane, thats awesome... now come over and build me an exact replica of everything!!!! LOL.
|
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? |
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. Marc. |
And to think I'm intimidated by the DIY coil denitrator! :redface:
|
marc, i think of you as a good friend and a saltwater guru, but buddy i think you may be insane :lol: . just kidding. amazing job as usual. you never seize to amaze us. i cant believe you are already thinking of building another skimmer.
