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.

Red Coral has both live rock and dry Marco rock. Elias@caco3reef.com also carries dry Marco rock I believe.

Thanks for letting me know, I have been to red coral and am quite impressed with their product. I am always looking for more insight and ideas on how to create my own sump and larger refugium, if anyone has any builds or setups that have worked for you please let me know. Thanks all
