That is basically what most do with DIY skimmers, look at a bunch of skimmers and say: Hummm that is cool, oh and this is cool too. So by the time you are done mixing and matching this feature with that feature, you end up with something that might work, or it might not. I think this is what reefvilla is recommending against, and I agree. Build 1 skimmer using 1 model as your template: it will be a known quantity, not an R & D project. Also be aware that many of the trick gimmicks on skimmers today, are "me too" copy cat features. Try to use a model that has not changed, (but has a good reputation,) for a while.
