I have not seen this personally but it looks decent enough. Similar lang din siya sa old school coralife skimmers and jebo HOB skimmers. FWIW matino naman ang skimmate production nung mga yun, though not as efficiently as most new skimmers today.
Acrylic yan base sa pic. Pero kung hindi yan cast acrylic (example extruded) magbibitak yan over time.
Disadvantage sa design yung tube papuntang skimmer kasi mas malaking wattage na pump ang kakailanganin para makapagproduce ng sufficient bubbles, compared sa mga bagong in-sump skimmers na halos wala nang 20w yung max wattage ng malalaking models.
piho, do you mind posting the stated wattage of the skimmer pump you are using?
Cheers,
