Cone skimmer bodies

[Troylee]

Almost identical to the atb 1050 that's a nice skimmer size... What size system you running it on??

nice work do you have access to a machine shop or did you make this all by hand?

Troylee, It is going on a 200 total gallon system I plan to have the tank stocked pretty heavy lol. All the parts were hand made. I make MDF wood templates and then the templates are used on the acrylic so all the parts are the same.

Nowadays... everyone is using Chinese injection molded cones... you can't make them for less.

Our are made similar to yours, right here in the US. And we also use a 2 part cement on the seam, in and out... and sand and polish the seam til clear.
