Just wanted to share pics of my new custom NW skimmer. Here are the specs:

2x sedra 9000 pumps
30" tall
chamber is 9.5" diameter
clear coned flanged top
all cast acrylic (except black parts)
venturi is connected to drain cup to prevent clogging and overflow (like Lifereef)
modified union for quick disconnect


I will take pics once its set up this weekend.

Where did you get it?

Looks great. That "lifereef" way of pulling are is really great especially because of the no over flow.

The gentlemens name is Shan and he advertisise on ebay. Go to skimmers under Home and garden and search for ORCA. Very good customer service and seeing the prices of this caliber skimmer from euroreef, deltec, geo etc, he has very resonable prices.
