Looking for DIY HOT box style skimmer plans

RiverOtter · 02/02/2009, 02:28 AM

I have been looking for a couple weeks now and I can not find any plans for a acrylic box style HOT skimmer. Would be for a 100 to 150 gal system.

How about constructing one similar in design to the AquaC remora?

Thats kind if what I had in mind but I need the plans to do it. No one I know has any thing like it to look at.

I don't know handy you are with acrylic work, but the user manual has a decent picture of the schematics inside...

I think you would do a lot better to base your design
off of something morelike the Deltec MCE600.
