I later was able to make a cup and neck, but at this time i wanted the skimmer to recirculate, use 4 injector`s, and raise the injector column height.

I took the previous idea of single house for multiple becketts, and stuffed 4 of them in a single 5 " diam housing.



Becketts proved to be easier to work with, and less time consuming so was finally all put together here.




Last but not least, actually..probably not last either.

Was as my fellow reefer Tony dubbed it, "Dalek" a monster Dual dart meshwheel skimmer.



Most of its build was posted here.

Tony,

The motor is a 4 rpm that i swiped out of a small rotating nano tank that i had sitting here for a year.
it is almost identicle to a BBQ rotissery set up.

I used a bearing set that i routed and inset into the center of the lid.

The squeeges (sp?) are a windsheild wiper replacement blade cut down and held with an acrylic fork that hugs the inside and out of the neck of the skimmer.

Marc.
