Well, after testing and trying to get it to work, it wouldn't. I missed a couple key concepts. Sooooo, look for my new thread "My second DIY skimmer"
 Almost done the new and improved version. I'll post pictures this afternoon....Walter

I'm looking at building a skimmer similar to this and have a few questions. Does the spray nozzle basically break up the water flowing into the chamber and if so can i use the intake tube adapter with prefilter screen from a maxi-jet 1200 powerhead instead? What do you guys/gals think? Will that work? Don't really want to work with melting/burning pvc but will do so if there is no other alternative. Also looking to simplify the water intake part of the skimmer since i can't find any cpvc tubing and fittings in any Rona/Home Depot in Edmonton.

cost of parts?
Any thoughts on cost of parts (in particular the flanges and the acrylic)? What sort of pump will you run it with? I'm kicking around either buying a Tunze 230 or building a Beckett style skimmer myself.

I'm not sure on cost. I got some acrylic from a trade and I bought some more from Rona (24x48). The tubing/flanges I had from a old skimmer. So I can't really give a cost. Maybe some other reefers can give you some prices?
