I'm sorry I didn't take many pics of the build process because I was trying to rush this through due to having 250 lbs of curing live rock already stinking up the house. Finally got it all plumbed up and running yesterday, it immediately started pulling mass quantities of goo but it'll take about a week to fully break in so that I can fine tune it. Skimmer ended up at 56" tall (was aiming for 48" tall) with 2" PVC input tube for more air/water contact time and a 6" main tube, skimped on everything due to time, went without the keyholes, without a flange on the lid, flat gasket on the cup, no custom input tube used PVC instead, etc... but it'll get the job done. Here are some random shots, that's a 5 gallon bucket in the shot for reference.
Finally finished my skimmer
