skimmer plans
Just wondering if any had and detailed plans for an effective skimmer, I was thinking of trying to make one of the xmas break, rather than buying one. Thanks.

well, i guess just like the link i posted... it has all the materials listed that you need, and step by step instructions on how to assemble it. The only problem with the one in that link is the outlet has to be plumbed above the top of the mixing box or it won't work....

I'm sure you could modify that, but I think that is the most detailed description I've seen. You might find a thread on RC, but it doesn't get much better for details than that link
