My new DIY skimmer
I built my first beckett skimmer about a month ago, came to the conclusion it was just to big to put on my new 40gal cube. So i built this one on monday and tuesday night after work. Pluged it in on Friday and let it go till Saturday afternoon. To say the least i was disapointed, didn't skim anything no foam in the riser. So i cut an inch off the injector to raise it up a bit, works like a chram. Let me know what you guys think. Cost was under $50 CND, took about 4 hours to build and it's driven by a mag7.

Everything for the base cutout.

The base put together.

All asembled, but taken apart.

Fully asembled.

Two hours after staring it for the second time.

Close up

Twelve hours after the startup.

Close up.


So far very pleased with the results.
