    Go with BARE Tank

    cut pvc pipe to 1/2 or 1inch depending on how long u need the pieces, stack your rock on top of the pvc and glue the rock together to keep it from falling over

    Berlin Skimmer advice

    i had one when i first started out years ago, IMO they suck! but to answer your questions yes the collection cup has to be above the water line. on the skimmer there is a red line where the water line should be which will raise the skimmer out of the water pretty high i dont think it will fit...
