great tip thanks

it seems that schools out on these wet necks. im not sure why. do they fight against the foam head. or is it that their a liitle hard to build. i still cant find much in the way of feed back after people have built it. still searching

wet necks are very toughto build because you need the waster th sheen down the inside of the tube evenly. even the levelest skimmer will not sheen perfectly when you run a wet nech on it. that is why most people dont use them. most people have to keep releveling there skimmer to get the wet necks running properly.
