Need some help with my skimmer.. pics

Darren, next time I venture in to doing something like this, I'll have to chat with you first! lol

Well I have the skimmer working pretty well now. Next time I do it, the intake will be offset.. Also, I may still make the riser tube longer again.. As you can see that I need in this pic.. And I think for a biger system, a longer reaction tube.

All I did to kick start the skimmer is drop the skimate in from my remora to give more to skim.. In about 5 minutes, this was the result.. I did a turkey baster analysis (lol) and I could see the the skimate is almost black and the water in the bucket is clear.

Are there any precautions that I should take before testing it on my main tank? I can't imagine toxic glues are good.. do I need to soak it or anything? [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
