I have 40 years of experience as an engineer (tool room), Motorcycle and car mechanics repairs, I have kept aquarium fish since I was 10 years old, in the late 80’s I moved into marine
The hobby was very expensive and time consuming then came the 90, I purchased an awesome 8 foot tank from Wharf aquatics near Pinkton, Then the shock to the system came the price of the equipment to run a marine tank that size required a mortgage, The wife and I decided we could make some of the equipment with my back ground knowledge, We searched the internet for information on how the equipment was built after many mouths of research it was decided that most of the equipment out there was ether to expensive or was not suitable or to expensive for what it was
My first skimmer was made from any items I could find it worked well. Not very steady and it leaked my second was fantastic and ran my 200 gallon system for months. We also made, Sand Towers, Weir covers, Calk Reactors, Fluidize Reactors, Bristle Worm Traps, Float Switches, Refugiums plus many other items
Talking to some fellow Aquarist on a fish Forum we started a thread called taking on the Big Boy
