DIY: Adding a drain nipple to a Euroreef Skimmer
 

(double post from my ER RS-135 review, thought it would be appropriate in this forum too)

I was spoiled with my old skimmer, having it drain to a 2L coke bottle. It seems very inconvenient for me to have to unscrew the collection cup all the time, so I added a drain nipple to my new Euroreef now:

I decided to go with larger tubing so that it's less restrictive. It's 1/4" ID.
