Started getting a lot of protein build up on the surface so I made a diy skimmer. It's not pretty, but it does the job. I promise not to take pics of it my tank with it in....lol

Sweet diy Pitt! If you get tired of it the Eheim Skim350 is a great piece of equipment...

Yeah the eheim is cool. Matter of fact, I was thinking about it while I was making this one.

For its compact size and performance it is hard to beat...
Got em on the 20L and the 40b.

It cost me nothing, did it with things I had around the house.

Yeah the 350 is a sweet rig. But being on a tight budget, I have to work with what I got. Besides I started with DIY everything, so seems fitting to do a skimmer too. One day I'll wear big boy pants...:eek:

My YouTube is acting up it won't let me see the actual video. What is the freebee? I blindly entered. If it's not something I need and I somehow in it I will give it away on Aa.

I think it's a plant package of some sort. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

That's what I suspected, I could definitely use more plants

Did a lil rescape on the right side. It looked a lil boring imo, but now it's a lil in yo face. Hopefully the s.repens will come in and soften it up. Let me know what you think.
