Lol skimmer still works great and it has got better at it's job if it's possible just have to replace the cork stone every 3 months to make sure the bubbles don't reduce but other than that all is good... Getting myself a 20w led light upgrade will tag some new pics once that is in.

How did u make it though?
 
You want me to make it or you want to know if it can be done for a sump???

You can try the resun sk300 an excellent skimmer for a nano reef... I have it on two of my tanks and it works great and low cost too... It goes for about 30 bucks on eBay.

I waa wondering if u could make one. Lol the resun skimmer wont work here because of the 220v it takes... :-(
 
Lol would love to but unfortunately I am all the way in Sri Lanka and since it is just a home made item don't think it would last the flight :) there are lotsa DIY videos on skimmers that you can check out on YouTube

I wish I had skills and ingenuity to make something like that
 
Dude you don't need skill cause I suck at making stuff... Just the items and a measuring tape and just follow the video... :)
 
Any hardware should have it... Buy extra so you can trim it down if needed... Better to have more than less :)

Ok. So slip tube through both bottles, cut bottom off larger bottle, slip intake through side and connect the tube to the outlet portion of the pump. Do u remove the whole thing when u clean out the collection cup?
 
Well you can clean the whole skimmer every couple of months but as for the skim in the collection area... Just keep a small hope in the top of the collection bottle and you can siphon it out with a bit of air line tube.
