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.

I'm going to practice by trying to build something similar on a much smaller scale, I need a skimmer fro my nano with no sump. I don't see why a recirc can't work for that as well, with a small feed pump immersed in the tank proper and outflow going directly back in the tank from the skimmer placed slightly higher than the tank itself on an adjacent shelf or cabinet. Does that sound like something that would work?

Look for a GE plastics or SABIC (new name) listing in NL; typically your best source for weld-on and acrylic.

You want to use 3. 16 is just sloppy and 40 is a 2 part mix that it a hassle to work with. A bit of practice and #2 or 3 will be fine.
A small can of 3 should be a couple of bucks.
