[linddk88]

Really smart. Thanks for the upload. I'm soon gonna start up my very first aquarium (salt) which will only house a mantis shrimp. Can this build support a 40-53 gallon aquarium ?

Those pesky world conquering "scheming" snails... :)

[ReefCollege]

I cant believe how good it is working. Good job. This would be perfect for a small tank. although I think it is pronounce a skimmer not a skeemer :)

[abaneyone]

Very nice design. I will use something like this in my refugium. Thank!!!

is that salt water? If it;s working in fresh water then it is very good to be able to do that.

[jahrob]

@poojkhgf its salt water...however, if you have a fresh water tank the skimmer will work under the same principle...small bubbles act in a physical-chemical way to capture polar molecules into a foam interface off their soluble state off the water...

[jahrob]

i guess so...it will work as long as it makes fine bubbles :)

Could I use a Topfin fine bubble airstone?

[Adrnalnrsh]

@darklord19991 I've been trying one of those and it doesn't seem to work well.

[MrPeacfulwarrior]

@darklord19991 did it work with that airstone?
