    I bought some liverock today (it's bleacing now) and the guy gave me the bottom half of a PM Bullet skimmer waste collector, but it needs a few missing plastic screws and the top. Think PM will send me the rest of the parts I need for free, or does anyone have the spare parts to this? Thanks. This is it:

    Nope. But you can build your own for about $10. If you have to purchase the parts for it, I wouldn't bother. I made mine out of a large tupperware container, a snacky cup (filled with carbon) and some tubing. Doesn't look pretty, but it is very efficient and you cannot sense any odor at all.

    I can get you one Bogie .

    Its a skim-mate collector it connects to the skimmer cup via 1/2 hose as the foam is sent to the cup it drains in to the collector ,

    On skimmers like this they need to be totally shut off when filled up the collector has a floating ball to create back pressure to stop the skimmer form producing more pressure and or liquids , Pharmer John know how they do :) His ETSS I sent him filled a 5 Gal bucket I think it was in a matter of a few hrs .. Then it filled the floor ):

    Thanks. It looks like that stop for the liverock was definitely worth it.
