Making the transition from FW to SW and skimmers are a new idea to me. I understand how they work and what they're for. What I can't seem to grasp is how to plumb them in to the system.
Our setup will consist of a "HOB" overflow draining in to a 20 gallon long aquarium sump. My plans are to start with a DIY counter current skimmer as shown here: Snailman's DIY 4" Skimmer (I already have most of the PVC and fittings from leftovers of past projects. I'll buy one down the road if I have to). My dilema is that I can't figure out how to plumb it in.
I've attached an example of how I will be generally setting up the plumbing. Can someone help me work the skimmer in to this?
Thanks in advance!
