Talking Lil' skimmer

I designed this today and have just started building it. The skimmer body is a 12" tall piece of 3" OD acrylic tubing. The inlet and outlet are 1/2" ID acrylic.

The skimmer is real easy to assemble, but I made one mistake in the prototype. I tryed to use Weld-on #4 to glue the 90° bends. This did not work very well. I should have used #16. Oh well, at least it's just a prototype.

The skimmer will be powered by a Maxi-Jet 1200 with a venturi adaptor.

This should be more than sufficient for a 5 - 10 gallon nano reef.

Two is only loosely associated with two by a plus sign and therefore doesn't enter the equation at all since it is only there by mere complicity. We shouldn't count it and leave well enough alone.

The thread is 2.5 years old and I am sure the pictures were lost with the server move of 2002.

Sorry for the delay. I don't come around here much anymore.

I honestly do not remember if I finished that or not. I don't even remember if I took pics. I think I might have. I do remember that I was trying to copy a PM HOT-1, only smaller.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
