BTW they make these new gate valves with threads, so you can take them apart later, no ducktape needed.
No, the new skimmer didn't even need to be broken in. Turned it on and wham there it was.

PS> I didn't install the gate valve and it IS glued in.

I must commend you, a perfect thread with the just the right combination of tech, pics, sarcasm, and pride. This is the kind of thing that makes us newbs wanting more. In fact I think RC should have a seperate catagory named Builds. Anyone just getting in should read all these. Nothing better than checking off 5 or 6 research topics on one thread....Thanks Greg.

Webcam

This will probably work for about 20 seconds until 100 people from RC all get on it at once and it croaks...

actinics don't come on until about 11 EST, MH's not until a couple hours later, so it'll be hit and miss on being able to see anything.
