Anyone else found any decent DIY skimmers or ways of skimming a nano tank? I'm thinking of starting a nano tank and I want to have a cheap option for skimming...

Hopeful Reefer ... take a look at the D.I.Y. Forum! Good Luck!

haha, they should make a new forum for us to discuss why david gilmour, hockey and nanos are amazing

Here's my auto top off with a sun tea jar. It's a pressure-regulated, gravity-driven setup for about $10. No batteries, pumps, or float switches and it mantains your water level automatically. Somewhat like the old Nurce top off.

this should help im looking to get nano

BradsOcean · 06/16/2007, 10:17 PM

I did pretty much the same thing nano cube boy did to create a refugium in a nano cube.
first, i cut off the vinyl off the back of the second chamber

then, I installed a light

the light is a little big but it still works

lots of room for my chaeto to grow

top of chamber with just the LR pieces, since then I have added a clump of chaeto

DIY recirc needlewheel skimmer I made for my 20 gallon with 5 gallon sump. 5" body with a sedra 3500 needlewheel.

Wet skimming away!

Hey,

Is anyone having luck keeping the RSM cool without a chiller? Has anyone changed out the fans? What models?

Thanks,

This link appears to be broken. I'd be really interested in any way of improving these scrapers, because they are indeed somewhat crappy. Anyone know where this modification was posted?

Nice forum
