So a few days ago i read about these things on reefbuilders

So i decide to test out my fab skills and give it a go.

here is what i came up with. I have a direct RO water feed from my 19 gallon RO pressure tank in my garage. I used a fish bowl innovations solenoid to control the washdown. It is timed on my RKE to wash the skimmer down for 3 minutes 2 times a day. I have a Reeflo 250 Orca skimmer. And my tank room has a direct drain to the sewer, which is obviously where the skimmate drains to.

I used a cheap BBQ rotisserie motor, and a little acrylic, few hours later, and here we are

Very nice Ed. How much did it cost to build? You'll need to keep us informed on how it works over time.

probably around 30 bucks in total, about 6 hours of fab time. I am going to toy around with the idea of building these as bolt on kits, but we will see
