You could use eggcrate to hold cheato in place. Didn't notice you were using an old vertex, maybe try it out at a few different heights and see if the bubbles stay in the skimmer.

What about water level change due to evaporation (although I will have an ATO)? Wouldn't that effect the performance of the skimmer?

ATO will keep the water level constant

So I am guessing the slight change will not have any issue till ATO top it off...interesting. That's gonna save a lot of time for me. Thanks Steve
