First off I am no guru on skimmers like Luke33 is on other forums. However I do know a thing or 2 on what works for me. I started on this project with a Reef devil skimmer,It was a devil to setup and stabalize. I called it Satan. Anyhow I stuck with this for part of my process but eventually got my hands on turbo clone
Well I got my hands on turbo clone, but it needed work badly
But hey it was free, so I could not complain. here it is.
Now after talking to Bud Steve,(BigRed) I wanted to mod it quite a bit. so I took it over to his house and we came up this.
With a small Sedra needlewheel, it ran ok and made skimmate, but it was lacking for sure. The 4 inch kneck really made that Sedra strain, and also how long the kneck was had something to do with it.
Here is short Video from before the last transformation
well after a bit I decided to shorten the kneck a bit and bought a new pump. psk2500 Sicce.
Here it is just completed I am waiting on uniseal to finish it up , I hope it arrives soon so I can take Satan offline.
Any thoughts or adds please
