reefgeek84 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 So, I was going to have James at envision do it...but he is swamped, this week and out of town next week. and I need to get my tank set up by this weekend, so that conflicts... So I need to have my skimmer cup cut down, but I do not have the tools to make a straight cut...so can someone help me out here? Thanks.

Nyles Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 If I was closer I would.... Sorry man! Stick that bad boy on a tablesaw with a gate set to the amount you need cut and be done with it. You gotta know someone with a tablesaw..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Whatever you do, make sure you go really slow with that acrylic or you could crack or worse shatter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Dont get me wrong I LOVE MY OCTOPUS RECIRC but do some looking on RC about modding these skimmers. Ive seen several people break these bodies of these skimmers pretty easy. I dont think these are made from nice cell cast I think thats how they keep some of the cost down. I know youve done a lot of "figuring" but just take it easy. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrylics Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I found some time Friday afternoon if that'll work. I should have just about everything out by then.
