I am really curious about making a skimmer, and I was almost positive that Chin had made one and had pictures somewhere. Chin if you do, can I see them? and anyone else that may have some, just put them up so I can see.
I'm thinking a small skimmer, not a giant one...
thanks guys, Jase

DIY stuff seems to always be cheap and efficient (if done correctly!).

I really want to bump this one. I am sooo waiting for it.
BTW, at what SG should you start using a skimmer?

i have talked with nick and he said his stared working around 1.018.
i tried to make a nano skimmer out of acrylic but it didnt produce any skimmate and then the silicone wasnt sealed right so it leaked, i couldnt find any of the proper weld on to seal acrylic.
a good plan for a skimmer would help.
