Default Need some help with my skimmer.. pics
WOW! thanks a lot guys!

It's hard to see in the photos, but there is a ball valve on the return.

The Pump is a Rio 800 RVT. I will try a mj1200.. I do have a couple spare right now.

I originally had the riser tube 4 inches and recently cut it way down.. I wanted it spaced so that the riser tube carried mostly only bubbles and not so much water.. But I guess you are right Darren, if I had more foam I could get away with a longer riser tube.. I will try another airstone soon..

I'll take a couple pictures of it running and post them shortly.. This skimmer is mostly just a test for me.. I don't even know what I want to use it for.. If I find it beats out my remora, it may be replaced

thanks again for all of the good advice everyone!
