I was going to build my own protein skimmer. When I went to order the acrylic tube, it was only available in 6 foot lengths. It would probably cost me more to do that than to get a Seaclone skimmer, besides, I'll be stuck with alot of leftover tube.

If I'm not mistaken, the Seaclone is a venturi type skimmer. I was going to build an air driven counter current skimmer. IMO, verturi skimmers are kind of noisy. Is it possible to modify the Seaclone and turn it into a air driven counter current skimmer? What would have to be done?

Thanks
