DIY a beckett skimmer

[daddycool]

how come the chamber of the nozzle has to be air tight?

if its air ight, how does air enter leh?? hmm =)

I believe that it has to be airtight so that you can add an air flow regulator to regulate the flow of the air into the chamber to determine the size of the bubbles? I don't know...hmmm

[somebody]

okok... that makes sense... stupid me

[luohan11]

but dont really know y it doesnt work.....

looks like it's working to me leh bro... u mean no skimmate?

[somebody]

but macro's design, doesn't really allow such "direct imput" methods what....

for both the needlewheel and venturi versions, there's a reaction chamber within the main skimmer body, and that would affect the flow of bubbles right? basically like got obstructions like that lehz... hmm.. but if you could do it using the newer Macro one, the one with no "reaction chamber" within the main skimmer body.. maybe it might work...

dunno~ hehe. my stupid ideas... lalalala..

[luohan11]

ya theres a reaction chamber within the main skimmer body,

but i took out liao....

the skimmer working but mayb the outlet too small ......so mayb not so good .....
