Hi RuGlu6,

I have a Schuran skimmer that is venturi driven and may lend itself well to some DIY tinkering as I have done the same with another similar Shuran. The one I have available is the Schuran Filter Rack I+S that is basically a Jetskim 120 but also has a Flow Box, 2 cartridge filters and 2 Eheim 1250s. It's brand new but may be more than you want to spend. When I bought it the retail price was around $850 but I will let it go for $450.

You can view it here (http://www.sewatec.de/Filtersystems/Schuran/Schuran-Filter-Rack-iS-bis-300-Liter::43.html?XTCsid=rle6p66d1ne183ob0tkn14j6o3)

Send me a PM if you're interested.

If you want go all out DIY, here's a link for plans to build air driven skimmers from scratch. First link on the site provides the info. The "Skimmer design 101" link is a good read as well.

I have a DIY cc air driven skimmer that came with the used system I purchased. Quite happy with it, works well, quiet, very low power consumption.
