Increasing bubble production in skimmer

[soriano]

Hi all,
I was looking at my skimmer and I'm not too happy with the bubble production.

I took an air hose and attached it to the venturi hose, took a deep breath and blew into it, and that increased the bubble production significantly.

I've read about people installing an airstone in the center column of their skimmer to increase bubble production.... What do you guys think about attaching an air pump to the venturi hose of the skimmer?
