a thread that i don't think has been started yet...
 

How about pictures of your skimmers lol
I won't start i don't want to take all the bandwidth for my skimmers that I have owned....... lol

May be we can start up something like skimmers that are used in different tank sizes so if some one is looking for a skimmer, they can click on a tank size and see what ones that are can be used with thier setups.
Like for a FOWLR you want a strong powerful skimmer. a lps tank may be a lighter skimmer.
or may be I'm bored and right the heck out of it........:smile:

Or, Pics of your Home made skimmers and Skimmer Mods. Ya thats it show me your modded skimmers.... :P

ATI Bubblemaster 250 - This skimmer is for my 265 but was in use on my 90 gallon when this pic was taken.. this is close to three weeks of skimmate that collected while on holidays. My tank sitter refuses to touch the skimmer.

How about a nasty skimmate picture?:

Oh, and the Tunze in the preceding reply is a 9010.

Here is a Precision Marine skimmer I had on my 230, then on my 90..

Here is my DIY one that I had made for my 46Gal Bowfront that I moved onto the 230

And the collection container after 1 month

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...DSC_0111-1.jpg

for scale it is 6" diameter and about 24" tall

Oooo...what would 1 month worth of skimate smell like? Does it get better with age? Yikes!

Hmm....one month worth for me would be about 6 gallons.

Thats why I have to carbon in the air filter....that way I don't have to smell it!!

OK...here's my new skimmer. It is still a bit of an installation-in-progress...

My stock skimmer broke on my Solana 34G so I bought a Euro-Reef Nano NS2.5-4. It's made especially for the Solana & for those who don't know, they do a whole bunch of Nano skimmers to fit most Nano tanks.

Anyway, I've not yet installed it so pics are pretty much straight out of the box.

I haven't taken any of my current skimmer in action, but here are some of my old skimmers:

A DIY spray injection I made:

Here's my DIY beckett skimmer. The beckett goes right through the collection cup. This took a lot of thinking:

And the collection cup:

And lastly, another DIY beckett that I made - the simplest of all the designs:

Here's one of my DIY counter current skimmers when dialed in a LITTLE bit too much.
