I use a closed loop that attempts to deliver laminar flow to the entire length of my rock walls. I created the system for seahorses as they don't do well in the...

How big is the tank? Can you do a sump?
The coralife skimmer also came with a microbubble diffuser. Perhaps you can find something like that for the skimmer.
