 Topic: Mesh Wheel Mod for skimmer
Posted: September 07 2007 at 5:44pm |
|
Is anyone interested in doing a mesh wheel mod on their skimmer?
I can get the mesh material, but you have to but a lot, like enough to
mod every skimmer in the club and have enough for the idaho guys too...
You have to buy a piece 39" x 72" and it takes about 2" x 6" for each
skimmer. I would only charge a buck for enough to mod 2 skimmers
(or mess one set up). I will also post up directions on what to
do, there are also many sites around with directions.
Thanks,
Fax

Are you planning on using the Gutter Guard stuff? If so I have some you can have. I bought it for another aquarium project and I HAVE MORE THAN I WILL EVER NEED!

This is the stuff, and it takes 3 layers to get the right thickness.
Here is a podcast with instructions:

I'm in the middle of doing a mesh mod to the needle wheel on my skimmer along with some other mods. I got the enkamat on ebay 8 inches by 8 inches for $5 shipped. Not sure how much the sheet is but I suppose if you get enough people to chip in it could be cheaper. If you don't get enough people you could go the ebay route. I would also get kill-a-watt as some of these mesh mods can burn out a pump pretty quickly if they are not done right. I have found RC to be a great source of info on these mods.

fax - Count me in too. I've read about it on RC but was too lazy to get the supplies. I guess I'll take $2 worth as well since everyone else is.

Fax, just PM me, I am home most evenings -- I am doing the last intraceptor treatment this saturday -- so you can come before that or wait until after when I give you some frags.
As for giving the gutter guard away -- I have used about 10 inches out of about 10 yards. Sure you can have some but it only costs $5 at harbor freight. Unless your live close to me (Pleasant Grove) it probably isn't worth the trip.

That is the same podcast that I posted above under the picture of the
mesh up there ^. I will order it today, my only concern is that I
don't get out of the office much these days (luckily my tank is here)
to deliver, but I can likely send some up to a meeting.

I'll post up when it gets here. There will be PLENTY for anyone
else (and their dog) that would like some.
Thanks,
