DIY skimmer just got easier


http://www.aquadirect.com/store/home.php?cat=909

I can get the entire top of the skimmer, cone to cup for my 8" diameter body.

Making the cup was going to be a PIA and it just got easier. Although cost wise it might be easier to just get an assembled one.

Cone, ring, cup and lid is over $100...for the G4 size (larger collection cup)

Plus pump another $90

I am looking at over 2bills with all misc parts. SOB!!

It doesn't look as good as acrylic, but pvc is far more cost effective.
