Default bah why not

well last weekend (while I could still breath with out it hurting ) I got off my duff and put this togeather



and 5 min after installed



I only screwed up onece which resulted in me breaking the bottom off and making it 3.5" shorter I am still going to put another stage on it to perfect the design as a part of it is working but not as good as I had hoped. Anyone have any 4" tube laying around?

So is it a skimmer, reactor or just a thing that makes bubbles

Steve how much 4" tube do you need?? Is extruded okay?

How did you cut the flange and cap, I've tried using my router but I find I still get really rough edges.

not sure, looking for about a foot of 4" i guess. I made templates for making flanges on a laith and then used a plotting program on a miller to make the holes. I simpily tape plastic to the template and put it on my router table, the drill out the holes.
