I have been looking out here for a way to make a good Homemade Protein Skimmer. Does anyone know how, or can anyone direct me to a good site on how to?
Thanks!

BTW slothy, you have an awsome web site. Great Graphics. Only problem I have is when I click on a thumbnail, the photo comes up to big for my screen. Great site though. :)

STOY gave me this link so check it out, for protein skimmers go to to www.about.com and do a search for "DIY Protein Skimmer". I got a lot of hits on the subject. Thanks STOY!

Thanks ALL for your help and guidance. I'm not sure if it is just easier to buy a $100.00 smiller or just builda good one myself. But I will certainlytry to build a goodone if theprice is less that $50-60.
Thanks Again! :D
