Coralife Super Skimmer 65 overflows!?

Who says Coralife Super Skimmer 65 isn't equipped with an overflow??

I used to say that…not anymore! J

How to:
1) Buy a replacement Cup. (or use your original)

Way cool, wanted to do somethig like this but never gave any thought ot using O-rings, thanks for sharing, Karma to you!

 

want one?

If anyone wants the (white)bulkhead fitting I have 8 extra! 10 - (1 in use, 1 backup) = 8. Give me your address I will mail it to you free of charge!

O-rings can be purchased at Menards for 49 cents

Zak, why didn't you put this in the skimmer section? Nice mod, btw. My 125 has the outlet on the bottom, but I can see the possibiliy of the hose slipping off from removing/replacing the drain line every time I clean it. Good Mod, take some karma.

 

ygpm and karma.

thanks!

 

Well if you go to the trouble to install a cup drain fitting then I'd drill it in or near the bottom then just urn a line to a waster collector then just dump that weekly . That way you can go a few months between dealing with the collection cup removal at all . Like this one .
