DIY Protien Skimmer


Hi all, my first post. I have had my tank up and running for about 6 weeks now. and i think im ready to add a protien skimmer.....or at least start building one. I know I will take forever doing it so i figured i would start early. My tank is 38 g and I would love some ideas/instructions on how to make one for way less then the $200 my LFS wants to charge me.

Peace
Ben
