DIY skimmer Can't Post

HI all, I just build the new skimmer to use with my pond but from my opinion it's a little bit too big. Anyway happy to share you all the picture. I used the 8 inches tube for the body and reduce it at the top to 5 inches PVC tube. It's shame that in my country only do PVC in blue color with any reason, I am not sure. I am now using it with my pond at home and it works quite well. As you can see at the bottom I use the 2 power heads from Eheim ( but u can use any brand but I got these from my old tank's filter). These power head will circulate the water in side plus the oxygen ring from Resun LP 100 ( very effective air blower and very reasonable price). Then the protein bubble will flow over the top into the cup. The collecting cup on the top connect with the rubber tube to my tree nearby. Please let me know your thought.
