Euro Reef Dimensions?

[RandyStacyE]

I am going to build a DIY skimmer and am starting with the basics. I have become in love with the Needle type skimmers - especially the Euro Reef. I was wondering if anyone out there could give a little input with the dimensions/measurements of these skimmers. I would like to build an equivalent to the RS5-3 or CS5-3 but all I could find so far is the "footprint" 9"x9", Height 24", and diameter 5"

Reaction chamber diameter? (I assume 5?)
Reaction chamber height up to the bottom of the union?
Collection cup diameter (I assume 5?) /height
Riser tube diameter/height inside the collection cup from top of the union
Diameter of the output tube
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I will be using the basic venturi design originally posted by "DON W from Reef Frontieres" and his DIY Needle Impeller

The 5's have a 5" diameter of the base and collection cup. I just sold mine or id let you model it. I think the specs can be found a marinedepot.com

Go to Euro-reef.com, they list various specs for the skimmers there. That's what I used when I made a EuroReef knockoff last year. There's a bunch of info in this thread: http://216.235.242.50/forums/showthread.php?t=3375

Thanks Liam. I was quite pleased with how it came out. It works great, IMO. I think I'll replace the ViaAqua pump sometime with a quieter pump, but I'm totally happy with it. It seems to be very efficient, it's easy to adjust very accurately, very quick and simple to remove and clean the collection cup. It was an inexpensive project too. The supplies (everything but the pump) cost about $90 for my approximately 6-2 sized skimmer.
