This one was pretty cheap. 1 10ft pvc pipe and half dozen elbows.Great surface skimmer. My mag 18 cant out push it. so im happy.

1x sheet of plexi glass (can cut it to the size you want)
1x heat gun or anything that will heat it up.
Heat the plexi glass up with the heat gun and bend very slowly. Can make it any shape you want. Costed about $20 for the plexi glass and silicone. Only draw back is that it was sea though but once coral line encrusts it it will be just fine.

That takes up so much room!!! Why dont you just drill higher, And put a 90 and a strainner in. It would look so much better and would give you the same surface skimming.
