yes, that's one of the ones in question that is pictured earlier in the thread.
Come inside for a lemondade and get outta the sun!

Ive been thinking about this and if you want to get even simpler design, why not just get a swimming noodle, (the round ones that you use in the pool) make it into a circle of desired circumference, put a bucket in the middle attached by 4 lines so it doesnt float away, have a basket inside the bucket to catch the leaves and such, and a small 600-700 pump in the buckiet pumping out the water? simular to the one listed on e-bay here.
Well i did some research and found something even simpler! look at this, crappy i know but some production value on this and it would be the simplest way to go about this... dont you guys think?!?

cauze, it's basically it in a nutshell!
im going to build on this 
just makes sure it's all black. Those white pieces of foam stick out like an ant on vanilla ice cream.
basically what we had going, but an easier way to float it.
I'm sure you could wad up black spray foam and use it for a purpose like this.
very true! now if it didnt cost 13 bucks a can for two foam squares or circles lol
LOL! True!
There's gotta be some black foamy type thing to use! Prowl the aisles at walmart....there's always something to use.

why not use the foam, on a floating planter ring, its black.
that would be perfect!
The good thing about that type of foam, unlike generic white foam, is that it doesn't fall apart and turn into little bits as easily!

What valves can I use instead of this twist valves, I will have two to turn of or on the skimmer or BD. It will be submerged so it needs to be water freidnly
I think you should email the fellow with the youtube video for parts. I'd be curious to see his step by step plan.
