[captexas]

This is what happens when a carpenter does acrylic work ;)

Pete, maybe you shouldn't be using that radial arm saw on your skimmer :shock:

[captexas]

Saw? Being a carpernter I bet he was hammering some nails into it or using an air nailer to add some trim to it! :confused:

[::pete::]

I was bringing it to the kitchen to dump it in the sink because I was going to make some modifications ... I modified it as soon as I hit the wet spot on the floor!!!!

Ouch! Oh well, just think of all the experience you will gain :roll:

[RobertG]

Oooch is right, you slipped I take it. **** that sucks. Hope you did'nt hurt anything other than it. It could be way worse.

Not a total loss I assume.

[witecap4u]

You should ask yourself "What would Jim do?"

Glue it back together and name it scar....

[Ram_Puppy]

[::pete::]

This is how you fix an Ooooops ...

My new dual dual becketts ... might as well do 2 at once ... ;) and my new 54" sump/fuge combo !!!!

Let me know if you are going into the business, I'm going to need a good skimmer for my 180 once I get it up and going.

[::pete::]

I will gladly build one for you to your specs ... send me a PM.

[::pete::]

A little buffing ... and a good cleaning and then we can add water!!!!

[Tim Marvin]

VERY nice job Pete...... Makes it hard for me to wait for the skimmer to arrive!

[::pete::]

Thanks ... the teeth were time consuming, but over all Im happy with it. Remember ... good things come to those that wait ... patience ;)

Click on "Hang-On skimmer for a CAD drawing.

[::pete::]

How tall how round?

[JimD]

Post revised.

[::pete::]

I checked them out ... how tall would you like it and what diameter?

[JimD]

Hell, I dunno,,, Did the CAD drawing show those specs? I cant resolve the text so I dont know.

[::pete::]

I can see them fine ... is that what your looking for?

[JimD]

That or something like a PM-HOT-1, you familiar with those? I have one and it works great, maybe a larger diameter reaction chamber and a combination venturi/injector or something.

[::pete::]

Either way ...

If you have one and your happy why are you looking for another one ... if I can ask :D

[JimD]

I want to use the one I have for my upcoming prop tank and the new one for my reef tank, plus Im an equipment junkie. lol

[::pete::]

OK ... what size tank? Equiptment Junkie ... more coming soon ... ;)

[::pete::]

[NaCl_H2O]

WOW, I'll bet the wife loves the new furniture ;)

Someday you gotta try a recirculation type design too!

So, we used to have "Matt's Monsters", what are these called?

[Polkster13]

Pete,

Please post a pic of mine as well. Those all appear to be the smaller 4 inch models.

[::pete::]

4" ?

[::pete::]

4" ?

[Polkster13]

Are those 4 or 6 inch models in those pictures? It is hard to tell as there is nothing I can see to judge size with? By your post, does that mean those are 6 inch tubes?

[Polkster13]

Read your PM and I see you said that the "tall one" is mine. Sweet!

Tim said you were bringing his up this weekend. Will you have mine done by then as well? If so, I could meet you over at Tim's place as he is not that far from me.

LMK.

[::pete::]

Yes and yes .. I will have them both!!

[Polkster13]

Sweet!
