Got Nog ?
 

This one should make some good stuff. :)

A pretty labour intensive and unconventional build....but i think im pretty happy with it.

Its a dual Dart MW. right now it gets fed about 1200 gph of raw overflow water and 100 LPH of air through the meshwheels.

I still have to get some hiccups out and hook up an additional 100 LPH pump...soon.

Of course the install went sideways on me, but finally completed, so ill get some pics of the construction and the bad boy in action soon.

Good Gawd Man!

Wow.....Unbelievable!

Can't wait to see this bad boy in action!!

thats is frickin awesome marc. good job man. that is some SERIOUS skimming action. makes my skimmer look like your collection cup

Heh,

yeah its kickin as we speak...non stop, and still not yet running at full tilt.

It`s a pretty massive skimmer at 105 gallons....but i want a good load of fish one day. :D

Marc.

Hey Marc,

Yeah, we can tell from the picture that it holds 100g water! What a monter!

Are you going to DIY a self cleaning head? :mrgreen:

Funny you mention that Fastfish, i was looking at a good 1 rpm motor in my little shop to do that next.

But it consumed so much of my time latley i just want to Not build anything for a week or so...lol

I swear it looks like a Dalek man. All you need is two columns of lights and a little robotic arm thingy to complete the look and away you go!

What is the main body constructed of?

How did you make the collection cup, can you get short lengths of 24" diameter acrylic tubing or whatever that is? Man how much would that suck to find out you had to buy 10' of it at a time when all you want is 8" for the cup. Or are you planning on building 10 more of these? :p

lol, im unsure who dalek is but im guessin theres a resemblance ..lol.

The cup was actually routed out and 1/16th lexan was flexed and placed in this slot.
there is a glue seam in the back of the cup.

I cant afford the 24"acrylic..lol.
