mojo · Oct 16, 2009

should be pretty nice I hope. IT will have my bubble plate and the bubble chamber with the exit water will be a little different. ust too busy today to work on it more

Great start Mojo... I'd love to be able to do this kind of stuff myself, but I choose to live vicariously though the builds of others.

Came on over too. I've always enjoyed your build threads and had to see this one. I want to try my hand at a cone skimmer and this should be educational/inspirational.

looking good...

mojo · Oct 17, 2009

thanks all. I hope the neck can get done today. And maybe I ll start gluing some pices together. I think my neck pieces were shipped donkey mail as I havent gotten them yet.

Hi mojo
Can you post the cone dimensions?
I would like to know the base diameter as well as the top one,and,of corse,the height

mojo · Oct 17, 2009

The top of the cone is 4 inches. The base with the flange is 8 inches but the bottom of the cone is closer to 7

antonio_mota · Oct 17, 2009

and the height of the cone?

NVTE · Oct 17, 2009

Jesse.If you don't mind, Can you post the dimension (outer and inner dimension and picture of that Motor Block? I like to made one for my Sicce pump.

snk713 · Oct 17, 2009

what pump is that ?

mojo · Oct 17, 2009

I ll try to get everything posted tomorrow. Been a busy day today. I have my calipers at home too. I can measure it all. I need to for myself anyways. I have a few friends that want some non directional volutes so I was going to make some more.

Hey Mojo, great build so far. I followed over from RC so not as to miss it. Are you making any progress? Skimmer junkies all over the net are missing their fix.

mojo · Oct 21, 2009

Yea its coming along. Kind of at a stand still waiting on the 4in diameter neck piece. So without it i can make the bubble chamber either. So I am at a stand stll. order it two weeks ago. Grrrr. once I get it I can finish it up. I have nothing glued together yet.

I came over from RC too. I think it's funny how many people did. I still don't understand why they said you couldn't do the reviews.. That's great info, that helps countless Reefers make better choices in the proper equipment. Then they shut down the thread, that was already voted thread of the month.. AWESOME!! Some times the wrong kind of people get a little bit of power & BOOM!!
