i am pretty sure you can get it at your lfs.....if not...maybe try petpromenade.com......i will problably try the air stone and air valve tomorrow....
 
well i modded mine and i get a full cup of black coffee color out of her every week. I changed my air adjuster to a brass one, cut the collection cup 1 1/2 " inches and the inner tube. in a Maxijet 1200 powerhead i did a nano ball mod along with a gutter mesh mod inside the impeller housing . and this thing is bada$$ now .... i haven't seen to many skimmers have the output this does unless they are the badboy skimmers............ OH and i put a buna rubber o-ring in it for a complete seal of the collection cup and silicone it once a week

it deff. competes with some more expensive skimmers

both, 1 1/2 inch off collection cup, 3 inchs off smaller diameter inner pipe for longer bubble contact time....... i'll get pics tomm. on the mesh/ nanoball mod

dremel withe 3ft attachment and plenty of water to prevent melting....i did it on full speed (30,000 rpm)under the sink. i took the inner tube out(can't do with new design) and the collection cup, did very carfully so's not to mare the outter tube for a pro cut:headbang2: hope this helps....
