I was in safeway one day and saw this blood orange soda bottle and was like im gonna make that a skimmer, and then got a clear plastic cup for the bubble plate, had a small jebao pump from a chinese fountain and air pump and wood airstone. I cut off the nozzle on the aqueon vacuum and used half the tube for the collection cup neck, and the collection cup is a detergent measuring cup(never touched detergent though)

Very well done. Some times items in stores talk to you and say make me into something useful.
Yes pictures of the making of would be nice. I know I have done the same made something and then had to step back ward and make it again because I was in the zone and forgot to record what I did.
