Waste Collecter?

deaclauderdale · 02-26-2008, 01:28 PM

Got a waste collector and I need a little help on the vent MOD. I don't know where to get the mesh to hold the charcoal. Anyway here are a few pics of what I got so far

If anyone has a link or info please let me know so I can finish this up.

Thanx John

collects waste from the skimmer and shuts the skimmer off when its full.. Its a big collection cup

if you wanna spend 4 or 5 bucks after shipping:
chemical bags

If you wanna spend 25 cents and go to walmart:
Womans nylon Pantyhose...

Sweet Thanx. How about screen mesh would that work as well? And Al I got the package and I'll be in touch.

I have a similar collection cup for my MRC skimmer. What I have is a ping pong ball that goes inside the white valve on the top that shuts it down when it is full and the ball rises and shuts off the air flow.
