Hi!
After a year of learning, I'm finally in a position to contribute to this great forum.
Like many of you i too had a problem with a nasty surface film on my open tank so i went ahead and bought a aforementioned surface skimmer.The little thing works great but from time to time i found my self constantly fishing out smaller fish and shrimps.
So after some thought i came up with this easy DIY fix.
Only thing you'll need is to find some tube with similar diameter to the inside of a skimmer cap (it must be a tight fit). Cut the smaller openings with a knife and you're done.
Month of operation without a single living member trapped makes me a happy aquarist!
thanks for reading.
