Sparky is there a way to adjust the skimmer so you get more/smaller bubbles in the skimmer column?

Overall happy with the unit.
No complaints yet.

Day 2 (will adjust for dryer skim):

2 days exactly pretty much on dry mode all day

Dave that skimmer looks like its working well. 1 thing I don't get about the design though is why they make such a small diameter neck? It looks like there is a good concentration of bubbles in there. Making a wider neck will only increase skimmate production

Dareal i used that skimmer for quite while....awesome little skimmer!

 

[spykes]

i might increase it

I f you're going to mess with the skimmer, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a drain for the collection cup also. Sometimes skimmers freak out which could soak your floor.

 

[spykes]

it has a drain for collection I just pluged it :p

 

[spykes]

4 days of skimmate, still no 20oz per day but i have alot less livestock :p
