BTW, what I hope to ultimately build is a DIY acrylic recirc skimmer with bubble plate and mesh wheel. First time I've ever tried anything like this and I realize it's an ambitious project but I've done some research on it and it looks like it's not all that hard to do with the right materials and tools. I'm trying to build it big enough to handle a 500 gallon system with moderate bioload (2 tanks with a common sump, one reef and one FOWLR). Call me nuts if you like! But I've got lots of time before my tanks get set up and I'd rather at least try one than pay the big bucks required at retail to get something similar. I'd even try a cone if I could figure out how to make one, or a not super-expensive place to buy one.
