does anyone have build plans for a soda bottle skimmer?

I have a small tank 25gallon with 10gal sump I'd like to try one on. I like to DIY so this should be perfect. I was looking at buying a $100 Skimmer but my 125 reef needs a canopy so I can better spend the money and have fun trying something new.

I've already watched the YouTube videos and they don't tell you or show you much on the design plans.
The ehow one is pretty good, but I think I might just have to wing it and see what I come up with. I'm going for an sump design. The cheaper the better so probably air stone driven. I might use a small utility pump to achieve better flow through the body but we'll see. If I end up making it I will post step by step pics and instructions. Maybe a video if it ends up being something that I'm proud of LOL.

Yeah, I also have done a lot of research in to the soda (pop where I come from :spin2:) bottle skimmer and not to much on the subject. So I winged it. I think if you did a step by step with pictures that would be great! Would of made my build much easier!
