I was reading that RC thread last night and I must say Marc, the build on that skimmer is AMAZING!! I didn't really think of the logistics and what was involved to build it. Your ingenuity astounds me

BTW, we're just jealous that you post over there and not here first

So, you built a super-duper skimmer, and hooked it up to your truck. How many miles per gallon of skimmate?

sometimes you're just a little too advanced for us I guess , hell I didn't even really know what it was until I had a good look (and you gotta admit, it really does look robot-like )

I'm sorry, Marc. I was trying to work out the umbilical system and the torque converter you'd need, and I was just amazed!

Seriously, that's an awesome DIY, and I'm not just talking about the skimmer. Do you do tank tours for drive-by Canreefers? I could spend a day just drooling over stuff in your equipment room (I know you like to keep it clean, so I'd totally wear a bib, if that's what you required).

Holy c**p! I just went through your tank thread on RC... Man, I wish I had known about you a year ago when I was planning...I would have done a few things differently.

I simply MUST visit sometime...
