big skimmer requirements buy or DIY?

[Rogue951]

easiest for a DIY skimmer I would think would be a beckett skimmer or a simple airstone skimmer.

Becketts inject water into a tower of bioballs and through that turbulent effect creates the bubbles for skimming.

a google search should come up with some plans. I found some a few years ago.

I've seen ppl with huge 6 foot tall airstone skimmers. they turn into room cornerpieces with LED's lol...
