My ghetto skimmer for curing live rocks.

soda bottle+powerhead+pvc piping= voila!! instant skimmer.

 

[Killerdrgn]

wow thats actually pretty good. What powerhead did you use?
And i'm guessing the air is getting in through the powerhead venturi right?

 

[Deanos]

[DaddyReefer13]

I hope you don't offer that drink to guest . . . especially since I'm going to stop by to pick up frags from you. . . :beer: I just need to remember not to ask for a drink.

lol

Nice job Matt.

 

[Bob 1000]

Yep, that's how a skimmers works, that's what skimmers do...:shhh:
But thanks for sharing maybe you will inspire the next generation of skimmers..lol

 

[supersarc]

oops..

Let's try that again.

 

[Bob 1000]

Wow if you let that cup fill up it must smell the whole crib up..Is that a 5gallon bucket???..lmao

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Now that's straight up ghetto but inventive.Good job.

 

[Bob 1000]

Okay her's an idea that I have had for a long time try this ...

All the water coming down to the sump from the main tank drain, redirect to the homemade skimmer.. and then the water to the second chamber or whateva...
This would probably need at least 800 more gph to work on a 270 gallon system though... But on a smaller system a mj would probably do and air bubbles of course.. But the natural amount of bubbles from the drain adding to the amount of bubbles added should be all good..
The End...

That's pretty ghetto, yet effective. Just be careful that you don't flood your apartment or you'll really be ghetto!

 

[Bob 1000]

lmao...

 

[autoponicz]

[Bob 1000]

Very innovative, but like Josh said you better hope that "joint" dont go crazy cause if it does you're gonna have a buttload or at least a TANK'S worth of water on the floor
