Default skimmer waste storage container

well, I have my skimmer running into a 2L pop bottle. but, it has overflowed twice now. Once the skimmer went nutz, now, the Mrs forgot to check while I'm away. What ideas do all of you have for a storage container? Ive seen some that use a float to shut it off when full? can't find good pics tho.

What do we all use?

I have the Precision marine collector, uses a high tech float (ping pong ball), I am happy with mine, no more floods!

I built this PM knock-off two weeks ago. Aqua-c also makes one that looks and works in much the same way.

Default ETSS Waste Collector

Hi there, I just got one of these, highly technical with a ping pong ball as an overflow prevention...
