mosquedaj Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 i decided to experiment with a diy nano skimmer. the only thing im concerned with is the amount of microbubbles coming out...i copied general skimmer design and regardless of adjustments in several diff places, i still get ALOT of bubbles coming out....so im thinking of going from the design on the left of the attached picture to the design on the right..where the only change is that i cap the original outlet at the bottom of the T fitting and drill some holes on the pipe and place a sponge over it......does anyone think this will work better...or any ideas on different designs to reduce bubbles...thanks for your time and effort.

Dark_ice Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 IMO bubbles are a thing of any new skimmer DIY or not. is the pump you have withdrawing the water too quickly? i assume the skimmer is HOB and not in a sump Link to comment
mosquedaj Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's sitting in a hob filter....the water is discharging to fast but I've lowered the flow and maxed out bubbles to slow the flow... Link to comment
