Wow.. I like the Instant Ocean Skimmer..
Might build me one.. looks easy to me..

I really would like to try it out also but I dont know what to use for that cone. Any ideas?

Also I cant figure out what some of the pipes are.

Ok, so i guess now we know.

I also think I would like to make it a recirculating skimmer.

Notice the pipe in the background, it looks like a bent piece of PVC if this is so it seems like a lot of work when he could have just bought a couple of joints, but cool.

Where can I buy a brand new large street cone? We have tons of them at the fire dept but they are all greasy and nasty so I dont think they would work.

It looks like a good design, but to each his own, I know my tank wouldn't look good with a traffic cone under it lol IMO, but would like to see it in action....

How about this one?

Crazy. I was just sitting at my office day b4 yesterday thinking about building a cone skimmer out of a traffic cone. I had no idea someone else had already done it.
