I didn't DIY mine personally, but improved the design with a few modifications. It's an old school counter current wooden air diffuser driven skimmer. I make my own king size air stones out of a plank of basswood.

I'm fascinated by 'mame' glass nano skimmers from Japan. They're a cocurrent design so not the most efficient, but they sure are purty. Here are some links, one about the glass skimmer & one about a DYI clone.
