Here are some pics of my DIY protein skimmer for my 15 gallon tank... I seen the idea here http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=470274 so I decided to do this but modify the idea abit...
Here is the front shot of the skimmer
Here is the pic of the drain bottle I drilled a hole in the top circled in white to allow the skiimate to drain freely into the drain bottle.. Then I can just unscrew the bottle and wash it out...
Here is the pic of it in action.. Mind you I just added the spill over removable cup yesterday and the silicone needed to cure 24 hours.. I just put it back in the tank and now is bubbling nicely....
Don't mind the picture frame in the back of the tank. I am cleaning it as you read this...My bad... Looked like poop,,,,,
Figured I would share this with anyone that might not want a huge protein skimmer for in the limited spaced tank.... This one sits right in the hang on the back fiilter....
Merry Christmas
