Here are some pictures of the skimmate which is less than 12 hours because I cleaned it last night.

Thats a lot of crap!! How about a measured drawing so I could try something similar? I'd be willing to make it worth your while....

I really don't know how to give a measured drawing. The hardest part was the acrylic attachment to the lid. I used the Ace Roto Mold lid. Cut the material out on it so that the 6" acrylic tube would fit snuggly. I drilled and taped 8 screw holes through the lid and acrylic tube so that it woud not slip when tightened down. I will be making another one and this time I may take pictures as I go and offer descriptions with it. I am calling it the ARM2500.

I, for one, would very much like to see you build another of this skimmer. I will be waiting...not losing sleep like Chuck over Patricks calc reactor, but anxious nonetheless.

What I will do is obtain all the parts and take pictures as I go. It will be a week or two before all the parts arrive. It will be a fun project.
