the concept is nice with a few mods and of your own around it can be nice for some diy people i whould change the top part and make the neck removabill for cleaning

Nakoma,

Where would you find the needle wheel pump used for this skimmer (or something that works on the same principle) and how much do they cost?

BTW: I chatted to you yesterday afternoon on this topic.

I am sure you would be able to get a needle wheel pump from Andrew at Eco Aquatics you would just have to make your own venturi.

Do you know how much they cost? I'm quite new to marine and I don't know what things really cost.
