Remember the DIY Skimmer?

Here it is in operation. These shots are like five minutes after I first turned it on so it still has yet to be tuned. Don't mind the sloppy electrical. The undertank still has a lot of work to go. Have a look:

A closer look...

looks great!!!

could you get a shot with the whole set up in it. i hate not knowing where all of the hoses go.

what is wrong with your electrical? you got a GFCI, so it looks fine to me.

Thanks Geoff. I'll get a better shot of the setup in the next couple of days. I have to pull my sump out in the morning and install some baffles. The Iwaki 55 is a pretty powerful dude and almost outruns my over flow. Unfortunately the durso I installed seems to want to really inject air into the sump so I have to install a few baffles to clear the tank up. Once I get it back an and things cleaned up a bit I'll share.

Wow it seems to foam quite nicely

can you post some plans for that? I'm nearly done building a 240 gallon and am looking over various DIY skimmers.
