Wow, looks cool. Be great if you could find pipe like that in different colors. Have your skimmer customized! lol If you want an expensive skimmer look at the Deltecs as well.

what you really need is one of those jobbies they have at theme parks like disney world... uses lasers to make a 3d image inside the acrylic... now that would be a logo alex! no pulling off stickers or jazz like that!

just so happens I have one in my back pocket...
