All I can do is try it and worst case I replace the drilled pieces, right?


Holes on the end of your output will lose micro bubbles the same as the siphon holes.

Micro bubbles are a sump set up issue. Not siphon holes. Keep your skimmer in a chamber or two back from your return pump to "eliminate" them.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
