10 gallon Reef Tank Transformation

[Craigj247]

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.

Who is the manufacturer of this tank? It looks great, I really like it.

[Craigj247]

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.

It's by OceanFree it's a Nano Space 3. I also really like thus tank and it comes with a killer set of 5W LEDs.

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

[Craigj247]

Dude you don't need skill cause I suck at making stuff... Just the items and a measuring tape and just follow the video...

What size powerhead would I need for a 10g sump with total water volume of 20ish gal

[Craigj247]

Probably anything between a 100 - 150 gallons an hour....

Cool. Where should I get the tube?

[Craigj247]

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?

[Craigj247]

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.
