I was wondering if anyone has tried a DIY ATB skimmer? Basically to make the body, I was thinking of using a 10" acrylic tube, heating the bottom of it with a pvc piping heat bender, and stretching out the tubing once it comes to temp. Then cut the tubing at the diameter that I am wanting.

There are a few other enigineering issues that I will have to iron out, but I am wondering if anyone has tried this or have other ideas.

Also where can I get an Askoll 1500 or Airstar 1500 pump and about how much are they?
