Surface Skimmer?

[RobbAdams]

I am looking for opinions if this would work. I am running a CPR BakPak2 Skimmer on my 28 gallon bowfront, and was looking to get a "box" built that would hang on the back of the tank, that the skimmer intake/powerhead would be inside of. The "box" would have the "Teeth" cut into the top to hopefully aid in surface protien removal. Whav I am essentially thinking is something shaped like those beta breeder boxes that hang inside the tank on the lip, only smaller and black acrylic. Not only would this hopefully keep the surface a little cleaner, it would hide my skimmer intake, which I kind of find an eyesore.
