Default My redneck skimmer mod

I had a euroreef skimmer sitting in my garage missing well everything but the cup and body so I figured I'd Jerry rig something together to get it going



Actually seems to work quite well, filled the cup overnight running on my lr storage tank



Now to refine the mod by making a proper standpipe on the lathe and getting a cheap needlewheel pump so if wont be so fricken noisy

Quiet one my a$$

Ps: yes the standpipe is crooked, that's why it's a redneck mod, I used a drill and a file for shaping the standpipe

It was reasonably quiet running in a Rubbermaid but in a glass tank it's noisy
