Fibreglass Skimmer

[Awvince]

Has anybody attempted making a fibreglass skimmer?

That's an interesting concept AWVince - Not that I know of. So - I am tagging along on this one. Most DIY skimmers are made from some PVC piping or even acrylic.... Or glass even...

Round. Must look similiar to a Reeftek skimmer wen it's finished.
Ideas welcome
