The DIY is a good idea and I wanted to do one myself, but did you see the height which they recommend! 4-6 feet, that's a little crazy.

Sorry to hijack you abit, but HkySk8r187, how long have you had that skimmer?

I used a CPR bakpak for 3 years on a 20, and it was perfect. More expensive, but trouble free.

I hear airstone-driven skimmers are a royal PITA. Need to constantly replace the wooden airstones to keep them functional. No experience, though.
