I haven't bought one in a while but Sicce and Sedra make good skimmer pumps.

That's a awesome skimmer I was thinking of making one myself how difficult was this for you to make it someone handy to make?

Looks good. You want to have a balance between your skimmer body and the pump. The specs of you skimmer (like neck size, dimensions of the body) will determine which pump will work best. Post up some details. I've made a cone skimmer before, there is always a learning curve with your first one.
