Hi Obet, I don't have much skills creating write-up procedures. Perhaps one reason why I can't compose the write-up is that I can't even name all the parts!!! :oops:

1 - Jebo body + collectinh cups. Give me access to see inside and don't need for custom collecting cups

2 - 3" coupling
3 - chamber, 3" tube
4 - tee?
5 - ?
6 - L
7 - 3/4 pipe
8 - L
*** I remeber may parang may binili pa ako na thread to connect the two L
9 - L
10 - ?
11 - ?

... the rest I hosnestly don't know the names.

yung 15 yung coupling na pwede i paghiwalayin... Para madaling magpalit ng pump.

yung 17, sa RO, T yan ginawa kong L kasi gusto ko straight pataas agad yung bubbles. I don't like to see the bubble entering the 12 and that is the reason kung bakit nilayo ko yung 17 sa 12. Sa RO, magkalapit sila. Yung water intake... mas maganda T yang nasa chamber.

With regards to diameter, masprefer ko parin ng 3" kung gagawin ko sya ulit... unless gagamit ako ng mataas na wattage ng pump, na hindi na manman sya gagawin (ULIT). Gusto ko yung effect ng nagsisiksikan yung bubbles pataas.

Hi Icis,

Peter or DA are selling ventury pump with needle wheel. This are replacements for the skimmers that they sell. Vin I think, also has a spare.

Hi Randell,

Thanks but I also envy the people who has the three great product from RO! I'm still looking forward to own one someday.

Some parts are cemented already specially the once that has a hole (to fit the 3/4" pvc). Some parts are not cemented, for reuse. Anyway, if you're going to do this, try to use the bulkhead instead. Specifically made for that purpose. It's more neat and reliable...

I never thought of using that.

The bottom part was just a ordinary end caps (not sure with the name). Usually this is not flat at the bottom but I just improvised on how to make it stand alone when installed. Other option, yung takip ng tupperware... sealed using all purpose silicon, or epoxy na.

or if it's unavailable in MAC, try customizing those acrylic sago/gulaman containers we often see at the market.

and again, careful with the SQ. Mine hurt so bad i wanted to punch someone. :lol:
