LOL, There is no riser tube, and the water level is too low to pull anything, hence why it looks like a tube with an air-stone in it. Because that's exactly what it is. This thing is not skimming a thing.
@ ApexWestup - If you're skimmer isn't running 24/7, it's useless. Not something that you can just "turn off". Either run s skimmer, or don't. Skimmers work by building up slime layers of dissolved organic compounds. Turning it off, defeats the purpose, and starts it over again.

and you made it "HOW?" ....
-
nice! im going to make one soon. found your instructions in less than 5min
(pdf file). lol google is your friend ~ oh yeah. hope it's not noisy. since the impeller is mixing both water and air : / . doesn't seem to noisy on your vid though. even if it is i'll just leave it on when i'm not home...
-
no instructions, AND the skimmer Sucks hind tit, too...so no loss there.

Understanding how a skimmer works is simple (depending on how concener you are of micro bubbles)
1. waterflow inlet ino cylinder chamber creates vortex.
2. water outlet AS LOW AS POSSIBLE from the same chamber.
3. WOODEN airstone creates hella bubbles.
4. bottleneck top of hte chamber creates what will appear to be an oozing foam volcano.
5. collection cup around it.
Water flows in, contaminants are attracted to air buble surface, float up and get collected, clean water flows from 2.
