A how to explanation of how i built a really cheap skimmer for my budget ecosystem fish pond. This simple pond skimmer was built using a cheap, sturdy bucket. To create an effective pond skimmer all you need to do is create surface tension. The tension on the surface of the water pulls all the debris over into the skimmer. In this case a bucket. On top of the pump i have a sponge that collects all the debris and prevents small fish from being sucked into the pump. Once a week i remove the debris and rinse out the sponge. Not bad for under 10 bucks.
