    Recirc NW skimmer

    Well scooty it is honestly down to good old elbow grease. In the case of you tank I routed the corner over with a 3/8" roundover bit, and then started sanding with 320g sandpaper up to about 3200 and then buffed with a buffer. With this I rounded it over with a orbital disk sander w/ 60 g to...

    Recirc NW skimmer

    It has been quite some time since I have made anything new for my system so I figured that it was about time to get a bigger skimmer built. Here is a start. It will be about 40" tall, w/ a 12" collection cup and a 8" main chamber. There is a 4" neck that is connected with a twistlock flange...

    Scooties Project "X"

    That looks fine to me. Have you seen the intake screens that we made for Todd's and my tanks? We both had several tangs and other fish killed by the standard strainer type of screen. I will have to take a pic if you havn't seen it, they are real easy to make and they make a huge difference.
