Skimmer plans

I have a 2 feet long of 8" diameter acrylic tubing coming and wondering if anybody has a skimmer plan for that size reaction chamber. I am going to be using my existing sedra 5000, mesh modded. I am looking for reaction chamber and riser height. It is gong to be a recirc skimmer and what size tank would this skimmer be able to handle, moderately loaded? I am hoping to upgrade to 220 in the summer. Thanks in advance.

You know the deltec ap701 uses a 8" reaction chamber,you could go to deltecs website and check out the specs on it.Of course ,it also uses an eheim pump and not a sedra,but it can get you started.
