I'm thinking of picking one up for mine to get surface skimming going as well.

Probably have to modify the tube a bit, but may not since it looks like a small diameter tube
Where can you get them? If they arent big I'd probably give it a try.

Question Impeller Mod?

Hi,
Sorry to drag this thread up from the murky depths but how do I do the impeller mod to make it quiet?
Not entirely sure what to superglue and don't want to stick bits together.
Thanks
Greg

Took me a while to fine tune but sofar my wet skimmate is down to 0, and i havent gotten any stinky stuff yet. this tank was running a skimmer before i put this on and i did a water change at the same time. only thing is you have to really watch it to make sure that there is water flowing. really have to watch the amount of air.
