<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Alan, this is one of my prototypes for a bullet 1 clone. Meaning, ya, I made it :D

The fancy air vent is Steve's own addition. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Silly question....

Weren't you running a skimmer while the tank was curing? (ahem, I mean clearing)

[Aquattro]

Andrew, Steve had fully cured rock when he started up. He prolly could have used one to clear the sand storm though. ;)

Ok, after 18 Hours it started to skim (I have just been to lazy from the heat to put a pic up :D )

Brad do you have plans for the skimmer, or plans to post the plans somewhere? I ask because unfortunately around my area nobody has this style of skimmer, none of my LFS carry them (to my knowledge), so I can't just go somewhere easily and look at one to get dimensions and etc.

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.
