$700 for a skimmer :eek: how big was the skimmer that you were bout to buy and where did you buy it from??

Most decent skimmers start at $400, IMO. I have a 155g tank, and a skimmer for that is over $500 anyway. The bullet 3, comparable to mine, is $799.

A Euroreef for mine would be at least be $609, probably more.

where did you get the parts to make it cuz my seaclone skimmer makes way too much bubble ....now thinking to make one over christmas break

"parts" are from the acrylic store. Some from the plumbing supply store. Then you'll need a good table saw and a really good router. You'll need a router table also. Use the good carbide bits. See the link at the top of this thread for plans.

Is there anyone who sells acrylic tubing in less that the 6 or 10 foot lengths, if I wanted to make a skimmer I'd still have way to much material left over.
