AC70 Surface Skimming mod

[BayStYat]

Total cost $2.30



1 3/4 T

1 3/4 90

1 6inch length of 3/4 pipe

Black Fusion paint

I cut the factory filter ends off both supplied tubes and fit them in the T and 90, also cut the main tube the length of the T

It skimms super fast. When I stir up the new sand I can watch the fine dust get pulled in at a high rate of speed.

Nice mod if one's protein skimmer doesn't do much surface skimming, such as a lot of the HOBs.
