I am all about DIY (gets me going when I actually build to see the end results)
That said through few back and forth with Mike helping me on different dimensions for few types of skimmers and the end results is a large skimmer with I believe 16" diameter outer clear casing with 10" reaction chamber 36" tall with couple ball valves release and a 10000 bubble blaster running smooth now for 6 mths on my entire system of roughly just under 600glns.Thanks but didn't you ever call me I feel left out

No skimmer advice but lots of PITA txt about everything under the sun with Mikey AKA Jarhead

I did get a kick a$$ deal on a Deltec 702 skimmer though.

Way back when, Mike gave me a call to chat about Beckett skimmers. Very interesting conversation: from skimmers, to West Coast weather, to tree huggers, all about army life, to family, fish tanks and then back to skimmers. LOL

Mike is the best. King for sure. Steered me to a good skimmer. Hope to use it after I retire. Coming soon. We also chatted on the ph on his dime.
Can't go wrong with Skimmer King's advice
