IChachijoe, I'm thinking that your aqua C collection cup lid has a seal, no? Most other skimmers have a lid that just sits on the collection cup and has vent holes. So maybe with out a seal, the auto shut off part may not work as effectively? I wish I had seen your thread a day earlier, I just bought the Aqua C auto waste 5L collection container. Bought it off ebay for $50 including shipping so it wasn't that bad a deal. Your $20 container sounds more appealing and looks like a great DIY project. My main issue was dealing with the smell. I put my Octo DNW 200 recirc skimmer in my daughter's closet. The thing is pumping out the nasty smelly nog now and it's stinking up her closet and her clothes. Anyway, I plan to seal up the 4 vent holes on the lid with silicone. The lid itself won't be sealed, but I'm guessing the auto shut off backpressure part should still work fine, no?
