Now I am on the process of protein skimer building and would like to know who has already done sthis supply on his own. I am following this protein skimmer DIY. Thanks in adavance and have a nice day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 What tank is this for? DIY is great for a lot of things in this hobby, but IMO for protein skimmers you would be better off buying a used one to save money. There are things that just don’t DIY easy like body shape, design and serviceability. Manufacturers take a lot of these things into consideration and make them affordable through volume and tooling. All depends on what you are trying to achieve and what tank it’s for though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 See this old thread for a cheap skimmer I wrote up. My friend is still using it. We did replace the pump eventually but the original worked ok for like 8 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Now I’m not finding those skimmers for sale on eBay but just as a reference if you look around you can usually find something budget oriented that will likely do just fine and you won’t be using a Tupperskim Bubbleware LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
