Hi,
Just bought a ER skimmer and it's too big to fit into my 3 section sump.
Currently i have a hang on skimmer on the left, refug in the middle, and return pump on the right. I also have 20 gal refugium coming into the return pump.
I need to put the ER Skimmer into the middle section, which I need to remove the sand and rocks. How do I re-arrange the new flow so that the water from the refugium won't get skimmed?
My thought:
- Overflow from main tank goes to middle section with the skimmer,
- the refugium overflow goes to the right with the return pump. Probably need to add rocks to block the bubbles. I tried this before but a lot of microbubbles came out in the main tank.
- the left section just have the pump back to refugium?
Please advise,
