Finished tank after move

So i finally setup my tank again after the move. Here are some pics of the skimmer i made. Its a real beast

hmm thats interesting. Is the skimmer producing results that you are liking?

that collection cup look a tad small for that big of a skimmer

Its skimming really strong. Still trying to get the adjustments right to get it to skim a little less as my tank is not heavy stocked at all and as dustin mentioned, the collection cup is too small. I need to get a larger cup for it.

What kind of pump did you use? Can you post a build thread on that Warlock.

The diameter of the neck is what kills that. It's way too narrow and doesn't allow for a good air/water ratio. You can't get enough air into it for the diameter of the body.
Probably better than a SeaClown tho.

Looks like the move went fairly smooth.

What makes you say that? There is plenty of air in there and its over skimming IMO. I can adjust it to have the foam start building up alot lower than then neck. It just depends on how high or low i adjust the water out section



But the there is alot of surface area so it needs to have a strong pump that produces alot of bubbles. the neck area is just where the skimate is pushing up if you see in the above pic

here is another one made by someone else. See how the foam is not being built in the neck but much lower, i have yet to adjust mine to start foaming lower. Still playing around with it. I'll take a pic when i have the right setting

What pump are you using in that. Also, where would the pump hook into. If you have a link to build one of these let me know im very interested. How many gallon tank would that skim?
