Very quick question

[Tommy3492]

ok for a bubble trap, for model F of melevs reef site....


Tell me if i have this correct:

The first piece of panel is flush with the bottom, then the second piece which is a little above 1 inch away from it is 1 inch from the bottom of the tank, then a little above 1 inch away the second panel if flush with the bottom again???

You got it right.

thanks, are you sure cause i dont want to sqrew it up tommorow

100% sure. That is standard for a bubble wall. I used Melev's site to build my sump.

Also, what skimmer are you using and is it an in-sump skimmer? Some skimmers need to be sitting in a particular water depth. This could affect the height of the first and 3rd piece of your bubble wall.

You should have 3 panels. The outer panels should be flush and sealed to bottom of sump and the middle panel should be raised about .5-1inch above bottom and all should be spaced about 1 inch apart.

Does the skimmer documentation say anything about the level of water it should sit in?
