Dinosaur skimmer! That's so badrump!
I prefer the term, O.G.are you insinuating I’m a Dinosaur ;Hilarious There are actually 3 skimmers in that picture, the tall one on the far right was a commercial unit that I used as a reaction chamber for my ozone it didn’t actually collect skimmate, If you look closely you can see the riser tube extending up out of the top of the collection cup which led to a carbon scrubber. The short one in the foreground and another behind the tall one where home brewed Venturi skimmers that I was testing at the time.. skimmers where hard to find back then, no internet or other sources for equipment so if your LFS didn’t have it you where Poo out of luck
for the most part Tunze was the only hobby grade skimmer available in the mid 80’s, my LFS carried them and they where very expensive.
Geez you old farts!?
That is an impressive tank you had way back
Have you seen the ghetto rig thread on RC?
I wish I had pictures of my old tanks. I must have taken some, but my kids killed our computer and back up hard drive at the same day and gazillions of pictures were lost.
Love the Bone Yard!! I was going to give away my skels at Richapalooza to attendees. But I forgot to.
Sobriety was to blame, and great people. Which is also how I ended up turning the sirloin tips into hockey pucks.
Very cool idea.lol.. Those mostly came from my first couple tanks, we bleached them Snow White and used them as declarations in our flower beds years ago.
