Rachid (Thayguy96),

Hello. Thanks for posting some photos of the skimmer in use. Rachid's initial problem was with the height of his stand. He runs a 125 gallon tank but under his tank the stand height has only 22" of clearence. All the skimmers rated for his sized tank were 24" and taller. My solution was to build him a powerful skimmer under 22" that could easily handle a 125 gallon tank. What I came up with was a needle wheel skimmer with a small footprint and under 22" The pump which is the heart of the skimmer is stronger than all the pumps for this sized skimmer of the popular name brand skimmers sold in your stores today.

The best part is it's performance and the PRICE! About only 1/2 the cost of any similar skimmer sold in this class.

Thanks again Rachid for the opportunity to do work for you and Good Luck with the tank.

Thanks
