I picked up an ASM G1 skimmer and put a Sedra3500 on it. Buncha questions -
- The pipe going from the pump to the skimmer looks like 3/4" PVC should fit. How far in should it extend? To the centre of the chamber, or just to the edge?
- Should the end of the pipe be angled to get a swirl or anything like that, or will just a flat/straight end suffice?
- I have a high water level in my sump. The water goes up to the top of the chamber. How much should the skimmer be raised? I'm gonna guess about 4". Sound OK?
- How much higher from the sump level should the water exit the skimmer? If I have it at the water, it releases a LOT of bubbles into the sump which then get into the main tank.
- Is there any reason I couldn't have a pipe attached to the skimmer output so I could plumb the whitewater back through the baffles?
Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks!
