Automatic Skimmer Drain...watch this!

[SchnitzelReef]

I setup a peristaltic pump in my shed, and it draws skimmate from my skimmer drain and pumps it into a drain on my side yard. I've had it setup this way for about 2 years. With my ATB auto neck cleaner, I only clean my skimmer cup every 3-4 months.

The main reason I did this was so I didn't have to store the skimmate underneath my stand where it would stink up my living room. Super convenient. [emoji1303]

Here's the pump I use.

Nice! Love the idea.
