TM Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I got bored so i decided to make myself a skimmer. Total height is 750mm Main chamber is 250mm acrylic tubing. All the parts were either laser cut or routed on my bench. I am using a sedra 9000 pump i got some time back. Pictures are 12hours after turing the skimmer on. Still a bit of fine tuning to be done. making the collection cup cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 nice one man. can you tell us where you got all the parts? I made most og them with a router, got some of the discs laser cut. Tube came from universal plastics. The plumbing came from bunnings :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 i used this to make the base of the riser tube. It worked well, lots of other ways of doing it though heat the acrylic up, slap it on, and clamp it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Oceans Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Nice work. Lots of screws on that flange, it certainly won't be coming loose on you. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
