yagerboy August 14, 2011 Share August 14, 2011 Anyone shed some light on what this is? Came with a tank purchase and not sure if the skimmer cup looking piece goes with it or what. Their is a ping pong ball in the middle tube so i assume its for measuring circ or flow. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman August 14, 2011 Share August 14, 2011 The piece on the left is the skimmer cup. The piece on the right is larger collection cup which allows the skimmer cup to drain into the larger container. The ping pong ball keeps skimmate and back pressure from going up that tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami August 14, 2011 Share August 14, 2011 A picture or something would really help. However, it sounds like it's either for a skimmer (to keep the cup from overflowing) or a skimmate bucket. In either case, I suspect that the ping-pong ball is used to cut flow off when it rises to a certain level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bankyf August 15, 2011 Share August 15, 2011 (edited) Skimate collection container. The ping pong ball shuts of the air outflow when the container is full which will reduce skimming so it won't overflow. I don't think the parts on top actually belong there Edited August 15, 2011 by bankyf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami August 15, 2011 Share August 15, 2011 Combining multiple, redundant threads.... (BTW, yagerboy, you did post a picture, it seems. You did so in a duplicate thread, though, that was created about the same time as the one most of us responded to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
