Hey all,
After a few years of running a beckett on my smaller tank. I am upgrading my tank and skimmer. I am intriqued by the linear airpump method. My skimmer/sumps are in my basement so noise is not an issue for me. I just want something that will skim the heck out of the water.
I have thought about needlewheel or adding another beckett head to my skimmer and a larger pump but just can bring myself to build ether.
So what do I need to get this skimmer to reality. I have built a few skimmers so the Diy is not a prob.
What size tube should I shoot for? it looks as though a mixing chamber is necessary on the smaller skimmers. I don't think I am going to be able to afford 12" tube.
Is there a recipe out there for a good total diy air skimmer?
Thanks
Tom
