How to skim...

[stoneroller]

Looking sweet. How's the aroma?

It's funny you ask...'cause my wife was wondering what the smell was from my tank...lol. I ended up weighting down the lid a little bit to keep a tighter seal. It actually seems to be working quite well.

How is that skimmer working for you? I tried to reach you through PM last night. When I built it, it was kind of an experiment . I knew that it would skim but was unsure of how well. I just tried to copy the BK as best I could with a prayer that it would at least skim half as well. By the color of the stuff in the collection cup I would say it turned out decent.

Well...thought I'd show some pics. I'm on day 5 with this skimmer...everything seems to be working well. I haven't messed with the air intake yet. I still plan on doing the mesh mod...but will see how the nog production continues for a few weeks first. I still need to put baffles in my sump to create a tier that maintains a constant water level.

Why did you take the pics down earlier?

Woops, I forgot this thread had been revived...this was an older post and I ran out of room on my profile to upload pics of my ricordea for my latest post...sorry, I can delete some newer uploads and put these back up if you'd like.
