When I get back I’ll make one and put it on thingiverse. Will also sell packs of 10.
I just need to remember when I get back!
I'll reach out :) that sounds awesome .

@Mschmidt all at one point zip tied to the only 3 pts of contact I have ATM lol those clips will make it much easier and tighter

Skimmer height being up another inch or 2 is making it suck air from the front. Mini cyclone kicks up and it sucks air.

Gonna be tweaking this thing

I suppose you could get a high walled tupperware and inset it in the sand and put the skimmer in lower or just raise sump level.
Yeah working towards that. The 3d printed piece roughly how much per you thinking? I'll need 30 probably

At least there is an attempt. unlike me. I'll be adding the ones I made to the stand to help guide them too.

@Projects with Sam I got the one I posted from thingiverse I printed 30 at a time and had one, maybe two failures.

Which #Cronies has the oxydator?!

I just got a size D for Christmas!

Dunno if it's big enough to effect 250gallons based on the calculation. Any feedback on yours would be great

That'd be me, maybe someone else as well.

Definitely makes a difference but I believe you're undersized.

I thought so : err... Need a W or A with 2 catalyst

Wondering if it helps at all being undersized found a chart with the break downs
@Lasse can you contribute?
