DIY Dual Beckett Skimmer!
Check out the dual beckett skimmer that I made! This is my second attempt at making a skimmer, the first one is kicking but, but I want to make something a little more conpack (To fit under a 48" cabinet(skimmer is 32"), and wanted a dual beckett option, you can run 1 or both with the turn of a vavle........and the upgrade of a pump!
I have not put it to the test yet though, parts are still drying!

Thanks All!
Im going to hook it up tomorrow to test it out, and start the break in! Im going to use only one beckett pushed by a mag-drive 1800 to start with, I still need to order a AMP Master 3000 for it. I will post some performance pics after the break in period!
