SRC Member albinosage Posted September 30, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted September 30, 2009 wow you bear to break the Tunze collection cup...... Don't worry, it's a second hand set haha. Anyway here's more pics which I think I didn't include in my tank thread. Drilled more air holes to release air pressure. Added the downward deflector to push the foam down into the cup.

qiang Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 for the ideas bros...bro bino how much can ur cup fill and how often do u need to pour the teh o out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member albinosage Posted September 30, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted September 30, 2009 Off the top of my head, I think it's 120ml. Last few months only have 4 tiny fishes, so nothing much to skim, the skim mate was light green tea in colour, and I clear 1/3 cup every 1 week to 10 days. Recently doubled my bioload, so gotta clear 1/3 cup of teh o every 3 or 4 days. Oh and for best skimming results, water level must be consistent!

SRC Member albinosage Posted October 2, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 2, 2009 I used silicone to seal the edges. watch the height of the cup, you need to hang the skimmer a few cm from the tank bottom to maintain the water level, my first version was too tall.

qiang Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 nope.. all parts are frm the boyu skimmer.. cant bear to cut my brand new cup yup i placed it on top of the black sponge tat comes wif the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member albinosage Posted October 2, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 2, 2009 Ditch the black sponge, use the clips provided with the skimmer. Believe it or not the sponge is a nitrate trap, I had high no3 when I first used the tank but I can't find the source of my problem, turns out it's the black sponge I placed at the bottom of the second compartment and forgot about. When I took it out finally, dark brown water was dripping from it. Quote My 1.5ft nano cube My 24G nano tank (Decommed) I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

SRC Member albinosage Posted October 8, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2009 Your water level is too high, check the side marking, it should be more or less exactly at that point if not your skim mate will always be clear or no bubbles at all.

SRC Member albinosage Posted October 8, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2009 About 5cm from the edge. This skimmer is very demanding, requires consistent water levels.
