Has anyone tried making an in sump protein skimmer? Something that would handle a well stocked 125 gallon tank? If not, have you heard of any success with DIY protein skimmers at all and their effectiveness in comparison to name brand ones? ------------- 28g Cube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23030" rel="nofollow - Beginners Guide to Saltwater Aquariums Brandon in West Jordan |

After reading those posts, a few people have tried searching for DIY skimmers and not found it. Strange. This is proving to be very interesting though. ------------- 28g Cube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23030" rel="nofollow - Beginners Guide to Saltwater Aquariums Brandon in West Jordan |

Search works fine for me.
In the "Search by keyword" box type "skimmer"
Under "Search Forum" sellect "DIY"
Under "Find Posts" sellect "Any Date"
I got 17 pages of hits

You helped me find my mistake - I was searching the last 6 months only! I guess that is the default.
One quick change and voila!Thanks! ------------- 28g Cube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23030" rel="nofollow - Beginners Guide to Saltwater Aquariums Brandon in West Jordan |
