skimmer plans

[Namscam]

$700 for a skimmer how big was the skimmer that you were bout to buy and where did you buy it from??

Most decent skimmers start at $400, IMO. I have a 155g tank, and a skimmer for that is over $500 anyway. The bullet 3, comparable to mine, is $799.

A Euroreef for mine would be at least be $609, probably more.

where did you get the parts to make it cuz my seaclone skimmer makes way too much bubble ....now thinking to make one over christmas break

[Aquattro]

"parts" are from the acrylic store. Some from the plumbing supply store. Then you'll need a good table saw and a really good router. You'll need a router table also. Use the good carbide bits. See the link at the top of this thread for plans.

Is there anyone who sells acrylic tubing in less that the 6 or 10 foot lengths, if I wanted to make a skimmer I'd still have way to much material left over.
