    Love this DIY project. I had a local Reef Swap of frags and used hardware, last year. There where 9 used Berlin skimmers. After seeing this thread I really wish I picked a few up. I think I ended up selling mine for $30.00.

    Did you ever cost out the different between using the old skimmers verses buying Acrylic tubes?

    I think you are on to it. It took me a while to dial mine in too.

    Guest valve is the way to go. I had one - accurate and easy to set.
