Nice. I put a small ball valve from a tlf reactor on the hose of mine. Really handy for a quick drain. I have to drain it twice a week. Clean it every other.Thanks! It is siliconed and superglued shut. I just emptied it. Wonderful skimmer, but not sure why the drain is there...
This is absolutely a up and coming tank. Great planning and design.
I am just wondering why there is no valve on the drain of the skimmer cup. As is, the skimmer juice would just be dripping back into the tank, or am I missing something.
Hey Dave, if it is what i think it is on the skimmer, that drain on the bottom is so you can run it to a "collection" bucket. that way you don't have to empty it like every day.Thanks! It is siliconed and superglued shut. I just emptied it. Wonderful skimmer, but not sure why the drain is there...

Ya, once a week is no big deal. i run mine outside of my sump into a pail because i am away from home a lot so it is one less thing I have to worry about.
Again, sweet set-up!
