Question for Super Reef octopus users

[spinsonic]

Do you know if its possible to place a flexible tube between the pump and body of the skimmer? The way my sump is design, I need to place the pump about 8" away from skimmer.

Its the SRO 3000int skimmer

If this is possible, is there any performance degrade?

I would think extending the distance from the pump to the skimmer would impact it's performance. I'm sure you can do it without hurting anything but I would assume it will not perform as originally designed
