Is it just me or y I see 2 different design of your collection cup???

Image 1:

Image 2:

There is a difference in the ht. of the vertical neck

Care to verify / explain??

Interesting.. so HUGE.. can skim out a fish???

[roidan]

the one on top was before the whole thing was done mah

the one below is after the inner neck of the collection cup is added..

somemore if u know about beckett skimmers...u will know the top one is not completed one....coz...there is the top flange of the middle section...but there is no flange at the base of the collection cup to mate to....

and there is no inner tube on top of the taper neck in the top picture

[roidan]

no problem at all

i made worse judgement errors before

[roidan]

the keyhole flange that really looks like a keyhole

[roidan]

bought this set of acrylic polishing kit from Ian....our sponsor...

want to use this to polish my AquaC and H&S before passing them over to their new owners..i hope i can make them look as good as new for the new owners

any extra then i use and polish some odds and ends in this skimmer....not enough never mind...this quattro skimmer not for sale...personal use only...lol

if u want to polish your acrylic...look for Ian

hehehe...

thanks big bro....

in life experience i am still way way back behind you...will need

to tap your experience in life also

[planetg]

as cookiemunster once said and i agree..

it takes weeks...months....years even perhaps to hone a design...

but just seconds to pilfer it

dun worry bro, i'm sure someone will definitely copy. or will anyone dare me? haha

but beware hor...lots of subtle implementations many will not understand

[Marineman]

in life experience i am still way way back behind you...will need

to tap your experience in life also

Will be glad to share with you, I will make it a point catch up with you before the end of this year if you allocate me some of your GF's time! ha ha ha!

[roidan]

planetg:

marineman:

precision air valve....

ohhh..before i forget...please kindly inform me and ask me for permission prior to any use of these pics.....it's only polite...basic courtesy and ettiquette...especially when i am readily available for contact here...

oooohhhhhh.....sorry man....didn't know that u also patented your pics...

[Creetin]

one word: HARDCORE!

[roidan]

oooohhhhhh.....sorry man....didn't know that u also patented your pics...

it's not about patenting a photo or watermarking a photo.....

it's just basic courtesy to inform the original owner of a photo if u want to use his/her photo for your own purpose.....let alone altering it in any form or way.

but well, sometimes it's just too exciting to see some unusual DIY stuffs in here and probably want it for oneself, so i understand

the *matrimony* of acrylic and pvc

1.5inch spears gate valve

[roidan]

good things come in pairs, as the chinese saying always goes

around $100 for 2 1.5inch spears..ie. one piece is $50 ...those 1inch and 3/4inch sure less than $50 a piece

[roidan]

to spears or not to spears....

both are 1.5inch gate valves...apparently one is not as compact as the other

bro...can't wait to see it in action live.
