skimmer plans

[Reptoreef]

A total height(minus cone to collection cup) of 20"x6" for the body. A adaptor from 6"to 2"(at least 4"tall and cone shaped). A collection cup(I made mine of a clear tupperware that resembles a factory cup). Powered with a Sedra 5000 needle wheel pump. Or go a little more simple(higher cost but soo worth it) www.asmskimmer.com

I reccomend using the Ocean Runner needle wheels over the Sedra. I just put two 3700's on a DIY skimmer I built. There are very quiet and produce very small bubbles. There is some modding you need to do to the pump before you can use it but is worth it. They are better pumps than the Sedra's I was using.

JMHO:D

what happens if you make the body to tall and/or to big of a diameter (or is that possible)?

as I understand it, the smoother and slower the water moves through the skimmer body, the better your skimmer will work.....
