Skimmer question
 

I have recently aquired a nice becket style skimmer, now the question i have because I am having problems getting it to run properly is do I need to have s divider to push the water up the riser??

no
 

no. the divider only diverts the air bubbles up. Its not necessary because i've seen many beckett skimmers without the divider but I personally like them to minimize micro bubbles entering the drain

Hey Kevin is your pump big enough? I had the same problem, I fixed it with getting a better pump.

Its running with a Mag12 right now.

The problem is all the air is pooling at the top of the box, then it's letting huge air bubbles go up the riser!!
