Possible Patent: Would anyone be interested in a canister filter adapter to connect to HOB skimmer

[OldReefGuy]

Canister out connects to HOB skimmer.
Both would be fully functional.
I get it, only for non-sump users so limited in sales, but......one less pump to power.....

So canister feeds the skimmer or operates the skimmer?

 

[OldReefGuy]

skimmer would not have a pump. air control for skimmer via a venturi.....

 

[joseserrano]

air controlled meaning it would be run off an air stone or something similar?

 

[thresher]

Interesting. Wouldn't the canister filter have difficulty pushing enough water for the venturi to operate properly?

Performance would logically change as filter became clogged

I think this would work for nano tanks....
