This could be something, it’s the first of its size and it’s crazy how much he can pull out in just 24h

Im still not totally satisfied, some parts are still on their way but initial toughs seems good.
 
7 day and the 500ml collection vessels is almost full, this is pulling 4x more my previous proper skimmer, I believe this time DIY has got the best of it
