Got my Skimmer

[Delphinus]

Oh no, another one. Ok, so curiousity is getting the better of me, how much are you selling them for?

BTW, I don't know about it not being in your best interests to post the plans: most people who are going to NEED the plans are going to look at that and say "too much trouble to DIY." THEN they'll see on your website "... but you can purchase these from me at a nominal price ... " and they're going to go "cool, where do I send my money."

Just my $0.02.......

Tony, I am currently starting to build these skimmers for sale, so posting plans isn't in my best interest. [img]tongue.gif[/img] The design is very simple and if you have any questions, send me an email and I can point you in the right direction.

well I decided that it was time to clean my skimmer, it has been running for about 2.5 weeks and man what a stench when I opened it up.. to help show my point I have a couple pics [img]smile.gif[/img]

you can see the thick sludge that has coated the sides of the tubes. (I think my wife almost passed out when I was emptying the colection bucket in the bathroom.. :D )




so after it was all cleaned I put it back to geather and flashed it up.. less that 1 min after plugging it back in this is what it looked like. (in real life you can see that it was already starting to skim again.)


and 5 min after I plugged it back in...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">First..yes, another one. I don't see a problem with that.
Second..I don't think I can announce prices in this forum, but it starts with a 2
Third..Plans. I think that people who would actualy use the plans don't need the plans. People who can't build these already know they can't and don't want the plans. Basically the plans are on every DIY website on the net. An inch less here, an inch more there doesn't matter. Every skimmer manufacturer has a picture of their product....it's easy to figure out.
If it was in one's interest to post plans, you would see Canreef, Myreef, georeef and every other reef skimmer displayed in public. You don't. I offered to email you any help you needed. That's more than many will do. I have offered many tips to would be skimmer/reactor builders in the past. I also offered to do the "hard parts" for them. I think that's enough.
If you would like some help or specs, please send me an email.

Is that a Shiba Inu in your picture. If you have no idea what I'm talking about never mind. What kind of dog is it?
