DIY Protein Skimmer

Hi all!

Just to show you my DIY Skimmer. Any comments?

I am going to modify it here and there as well......

Simple yet functionable....

dude.....do u do DIY chiller????

Cool..got more details?

Hi all,

thanks for all the kind comments! Can't make a DIY chiller dude...probably you can cool your water in the fridge??...heh. Just a thought...

Anyways, the details are that the pipe diameter is 40mm. the connector pipe diameter is15mm i think. and all parts are bought at the hardware store. scrub the pipes 1st before using and use acetone to remove organic grease or stuff like that.

Use a pipe cutter to cut the pipes to the correct length too and not a saw. If you use a saw, use a fine tooth type and buff the edges. I just cut them. much cleaner and faster too!...

Cheers!

i once saw my cousin fren built one....he uses the chiller of a refridgerator and a transducer to built it.....too bad i can't find that guy....he have migrated to aust....haiz......

is that surface skimmer?>

this is what u call a Protein skimmer

hey there,

what's up with the anger man...that is just a normal air driven protein skimmer. what you showed us all is...if i am not wrong, a venturi or counter current skimmer for a large tank. i made my for my 1 ft tank dude.

Cheers and chill out!

i see, i think using a small fridge as an engine might be a good idea...but if the cost goes up, then might as well opt for a chiller yea?...

in fact, i saw some sites on the net that have DIY skimmers as well as circuit for self made PCB torsional wave maker/creator. some guys in the U.S. have real good hands at DIY.

u read the strait time today???it says in the life section on the Nemo stuff......water temp cannot be lower than 25degree celcius....wad u guys think???
