I tried the baffle thing, doesn't work, the micro bubbles aren't coming from the skimmer, it's from the flex-pipe down from the overfllow to the sump, the pipe sits about an inch from the bottom of the of the sump, anyone ever try micron bags?, or anything over the pipe coming into the sump? , The pipe runs straight down from the overflow into the sump, no elbows, no nothing., my return pump is a mak 4 teed at the top for flow in different directions.

Wayne do the bucket thing we talked about and cut a few holes in the bottom of the bucket or the bottom side.

1st thing on my to do list tomorrow Jon, don't have much room for a decent size bucket, unless, I cut the center brace on the sump and move the skimmer over, shouldn't be a problem, I hope, sump only holds 7" of water.

an empty 4litre milk jug might do the trick..

Otherwise ditch the brace and you can fit an IO bucket in there :razz:

Don't worry everyone....the brace can be removed safely :rolleyes: Just want to clear that up before we get the hords of messages saying "Don't Remove the center brace!" :eek:
