Default Prizim Skimmer that Works!!!

I have modified a regular sized prizim skimmer with the turbo impeller to skim very well at full flow without putting any bubbles back into the tank. I will try to get pics soon, the mod makes the collection cup a little taller and also uses a small acrylic baffle box that gets a replaceable piece of cut out filter media. It has been tested on a couple of tanks so far, ranging from 108 to 155 gallons, it has polished up all tanks nicely. Has been pulling out about 2+ cups of very dark very stinky skimate for a couple days then levels out at about 1/2-1 cup of skimate per day. If only red sea would have made something that worked out of the box.
