|  DIY Surface skimming power head.
Another ghetto mod. Basicly a powerhead fliped upsided with a half a soda bottle glued on with slits and a pice of carbon mesh to strain it. I got tied of seeing all the surface scum so I built this. I am going to build something like this for my remora. It will work until I get the surface skimming attachment next payday.  _________ Senior Noob Setting my 75 back up soon Main SW Tank:

Nice thanks. Moosedrool..not my fav. I made wine a few weeks ago with welchers grape juice, yeast sugar, and a plastic jug.
It works for now. I get board and I dont have much money so what ever works for now. | |

| Here is what I came up with last night
Works great. I had a broken Seaclone 100 so I took the center tube out. Closed the bottom, drilled a hole that the PH tube fit into toward the bottom and lined the top with an old magnum hot center screen, cut and cable tied to fit. It's in a 20 cube.  | |
