I made a carbon trap to put on top of my Turbo Flotor Multi 1000 today.

It took me all of 30 minutes. I got tired of the skimmate smell so I made this trap to fit on top of the collection cup cap.

I went to Lowes and picked up three items:

3 X 4" PVC Reducer.........$2.18
4" Drop in Grate..............$1.28
3" Drop in Grate..............$1.28

TOTAL..............................$4.74

Reduced odor coming from the sump.........PRICELESS!

Here are the pictures. This shot shows the reducer, the two grates and the cap from the collection cup.
