Im hopeong that as i raise my water level the bubble trap will work better, its just one of the 3 sponges that are actually in the water right now, been waiting to add water to see my salinity was at cuz i just got my refractometer today. Set up my pre mix tank and mixed to 1.025, gunna let it sit amd stir over night and add water tommorrow afternoon amd then try amd fine tune the skimmer. My intake tube is currently bent almost horizontal because my water level isnt high enough for it to be on the proper vertical possition
