I forgot to brag to you guys about the new skimmer I built :)

Check out the gunk after just a few days. Not the best picture, but you can see how the top of the skimmer disappears in front of the brown wall.

Nice job Vin! Did you end up using a Mak 4 for the pump?

Thanks guys.

Yes, I'm using a Mak4. It's the input to my UV and the output of the UV goes into the skimmer.

Looks like the Mak is plenty of pump for it.:)

It is, but I wonder how much flow the uv is losing because of the backpressure from the skimmer. Hopefully not too much.
