My gigantic diy skimmer is up for sale. I'll also part the various pieces out if someone is just looking for some parts but I want to give it a little while in case someone wants the whole thing. Here's a pic:

Here's what stones are inside. They should last for years:
ALR150CP they sold for 15 each and it is on this page:

I'll take 50 for the group of 6 of them vs. the 90 I paid.
I have a 1 inch gate valve on the output which I'll take 5 for I think I paid 10+shipping.
For the whole thing I'll take 100. I probably have close to that in misc. pvc parts. Just add a mag3 and a very very strong airpump and you're set with a great skimmer. This takes up a lot of room so it would be best for a fish room, rock curing in the basement or garage, etc. There is clear on the body to look at the pretty bubbles and clear on the collection cup. I have a few ideas that could even improve it some over what I had it running as. I pulled about 10 gallons of wet skimmate a week but still tea colored or about 5 gallons but that required a lot more cup/neck cleaning and I only like to do that once a month on such a goliath.
