I'M DONE!!!!!!!!

Well almost.

Made a new box and glued everything together today.

Just have to find some material to make the gaskets and maybe do alittle more polishing.

Should have it up and running later this week.

Now I just have to make a new sump for it to go in.

OH and one of those fancy auto shut off collection thingys, too, I guess.

Cool. You'll have to post some pics. Got my HOT skimmer done today as well. Just hooked it up to a bucket of water to test it, in freshwater. Worked pretty good, you could tell it was doing the foam thing. So i wanted to run it with salt, no salt mix anywhere to be found so i dumped some reg salt in the bucket. Holy man this thing is going to kick some butt. The hagen 802 is way too much though, i'll have to try a 300gph or less on it.

I'd like to post some pictures,but:

#1. I don't have a digital camera. (I'll have to see if I can borrow one)

#2. I'm a moron.

When it comes to using computers I'm lucky I can find this place.

Post some pictures on your new HOT skimmer. I'd be very interested in seeing how you did it. Is it a spray injector design also?

Any pictures of the HOT skimmer yet?

I finally got some pictures of my skimmer, but, don't know how to post them.

I'll e-mail them to you if you want to see them.

I'm just about finished the waste collector for it.

Now all I need is a pump to run it with.
