Has anyone ever attempted to make a diy protein skimmer? I love doing little diy products and also protein skimmers are pretty expensive so I’m looking to see if anyone has ever done a cheaper diy version. Please leave any pics or steps to make your skimmer if you have thanks!
 
You can build it in your sump from return waterfall + air pump in a skimmer container. I still think how to do it. But since we have sumps it is possible

Made this 25 yrs ago, still works and you can make it cheaper still if you make it out of pvc which is cheap and easy to work with!!!
