first time using skimmer

Some manufactures have such kits. Check with the
manufacture of your skimmer. If they don't, the most
common method that people use is to drill a hole in
the side at the bottom of the collection cup, and
put a tubing in it draining to a collection
container. Some protein skimmers are designed with
no collection cup, and they simply have a tube that
drains to a collection container that you can
provide, it can be just about any container.

If you search the net, you should be able to find a
number of DIY projects of this nature.

Just send it to a collection container.

In my opinion, it's silly to make protein skimmers with collection cups. I
think they all should just be made to feed into a separate collection
container. via hose.

Do you have any resources to refer me to where you can order kits to modify
an existing collection cup?
