no-niche skimmer
 
Any of you diy'ers ever make a no-niche type skimmer? I currently have a 3"
pvc pipe coming out the side of my pond about 18" below the surface. This
pipe joins up with the bottom drain pipe where they are gravity fed into and
underground 55gal drum. Can this be adapted to run a no-niche skimmer?

Don't see why not. Put an elbow on it, and then put on a Skimmer top like
the following link.

or do a search on : "OASE BIOsys IP-200 In-Pond Skimmer"

Check out my website, to see all the variations of no-nitch use and
plumbing you'll have to click on both *Demon Pond* & *My Pond Filter* the
diagram, and then the Lily Pond shows some of the plumbing parts we used.
