The Skimz is constructed of cast acrylic( looks like 3mm ). This skimmer is fitted for external operation, but can be converted for internal use.  The footprint is about 15' x 12" and stands about 24 inches( same height as an ASM G3) The fit an finish is very good.  Edges are fire polished. All the parts fit easily.  This has a "screw plunger valve" for fine tuning of skimmer. A very nice feature.   The skimmer cup locks in place but has an exit port that you can connect to a waste collection vessel. The dispersion plate in the main chamber can be removed for cleaning ( and modding)
