DIY Plans for airstone skimmer?

Yeah so i just gather up some random stuff around the house and put a couple things together and this is what i got:

It has actually been producing some gunk in the collection cup but Im having some problems with the bubbles sticking and stacking up out of the cup. Would this mean the bubbles are to "dry"? Also I am having a small problem with micro bubbles escaping from the bottom that I will be fixing later on.

Also where should i place it in correlation with the water line?

Any tips or suggestions?




Thanks,
Ryan
 
Try raising your setup a little bit every 24 hours until it starts working like you like. It's actually too wet...that's why the bubbles are doing overflowing.
