DIY protein skimmer

[sharkfood]

Does anybody have any ideas or a website where I could get plans to make my own protein skimmer? Has anybody had any luck making their own and if so does it work as well as a manufactured one. Call me cheap but I have a hard time paying hundreds of dollars for some pipe and a pump. Thanks for any info that could be given.
