Not the best picture or example but to give you an idea:

Ive thought about doing this actually but Im not sure itd work. I dont know how Id plumb it into the system very well so that it wasnt mostly just a stagnant tank.
Kien, that skimmer looks awesome. Is that a filter sock on the return back to the tank? Are you running it externally? My existing skimmer is able to run externally right now but I cant seem to get it to be sealed. Its close but not quite enough. Let me know a bit more about the skimmer, I quite like it.
Mseepman, I am considering yours as well, I think we might be able to find something that'll work out ok.
