I can't find a protein skimmer that sounds good and I can afford. Actually I can't find any I can afford. So I thought "I'll just make one!" Anyone have any experience doing this?

Maybe someone has... but there are tonnes of plans out there for making one. Why not give it a try and if it work out you can post it in the "tricks of the trade" section

Yah I have a basic plan I designed based on other plans I saw online, just kinda nervous now. I will say more once it is built.

Have you considered a used one? Both my Backpacs I bought for $50 used. They are good for up to 55g. I have since had to replace the pumps but they lasted >2 years.

$50 is a great price. I shall look.
