New Skimmer Finished

Just finished the skimmer for my new tank. Basically a copy of a bullet-1 copy (look familiar bruce?). I did a few things differently which I may change.. the raiser tube goes up a bit higher in the collection cup.. I'm hoping this will help the foam spill over more easily.. We'll see though. I can always change it..

Adam, I'd swap the ball for a gate valve. Looks good though. I made four of them this weekend and started your reactor.

Much finer adjustment of the effluent than with a ball valve.
