Default New Giant skimmer

Here are some pictures of a giant skimmer made from roto mold storage container, commercial orca needle wheel pump, and scrap acrylic. It's a vertical 40 gal storage container from Den Hartog Industries. It has to have air injected into the venturi. I have an air pump I can adjust.

It's definitly not the under the stand skimmer. I also use a marlin pressure pump for the inlet water. That's over 2000gph into the skimmer.
