Hi everyone I am going to be upgrading my skimmer relatively soon (much needed) and would preffer to try my hand at a DIY skimmer. I was thinking of using clear acrylic for the body and collection cup with everything else being PVC. I would also try to make it a recirculating skimmer, for the reasons of
a) having a small pump in the tank- in a 30g, the less space taken up by equipment, the better.
b) I like complex "toys" the harded they are to make and the cooler they look, the more fun I have stareing at them.
How much would the total cost be? It would be in my bedroom, so it would have to be quiet. I would also need a smallish pump to be the needle wheel because of heat issues. I already have two MJ 900 in the tank, and my heater is on mainly at night.
I would like to spend $150 or less on this, because I could just buy a CSS for the same amount.
Thanks
