Ok may sound a little crazy so let me know your opinions. I can't really put a skimmer in my sump. I built the height of my stand to accomodate a 55 gallon tank plus 6" so I can get my arm in. I had a HOB aqua c remora pro in the sump but due to the height restrictions I was never able to fully remove the collection cup so I used a shop vac to clean it but never touched the collection cup neck and that may of caused a lot of my algae issues.

When I upgraded to my 90 I took the skimmer out and tried going skimmerless but I'm not satisfied with the way I want my tank to look.

I also can't afford (read don't) a $500 skimmer for my tank. 

My plan is simple. I want to use an extra phosban reactor that I have lying around attach my rio pump from my aqua c to it, cut a circular hole on the top cover and throw a circular collection cup w/ a gasket between them, cut another tiny hole for airline tubing and throw a couple splitters with air stones at the bottom and some sort of air control valve. I want the skimmate to then drain into a gallon jug. I need to think some more things through but thoughts so far?

If you have an algae problem this guy will demolish it. Once he's eaten it all though he will find other things to eat so move him on.

Pickup will be this weekend at my house off mlk/969 and the 130 toll close to ABIA.
