From reading on RC, they can be found at Home Depot and Lowe's from time to time like that in the pond/fountain section.

Have any instructions on making a skimmer with it?

Yes, get the beckett and call Matt, Alex, or Pete. Those are the best instructions I can think of..... I'd be interested in trying to build one with you if you want, but we may be wasting money.

I guess I would want some "How to build a skimmer" instructions, or plans, or....... something I can work off of. If I could get my hands on something to work off of or something I bet I build it it would work.... it would probably be REAL ugly, but it would work. Or it would be real pretty and not work. One of the two. LOL.

I just got an unbelievable skimmer from pete... it's starting to show results and this thing is going to ROCK!!! I'm pretty handy and I have a garage full of tools and I still couldn't have done it for less or as quick as pete did

You will probably spend more on tools to cut the acrylic then pete will charge for the whole thing (unless you plan on building a lot of them)

I will build you one, if you would like. Any idea is possible. All you have to do is give me a general size of space you would allow the skimmer to take up, weither it be in-sump, or stand alone models. Then I can configure, and engineer the best possible design using the newest 3d CAD/CAM (MASTER CAM X) Software. When the design is done I then can send you a 3D model in your e-mail, so you can see what it looks like.

I will take a couple. How can I get ahold of you so I can get them, also when would be a good time/date for you so we can meet. Maybe if you are going to the meeting, I can get them there. Thanks
