micro bubble issue

I use a filter sock on the output of my skimmers and returns from the tank.
They work great for controlling microbubbles. I have to change them out for a clean set once a week.

Would this work without a gatevalve mod?

Just because the outlet tube is vertical and the water exits the top. Would you have to re-plumb it ?

Could you add an elbow or two to the top to give you a place to hang a bag? Or do the gate valve mod, you don't have to buy the ASM kit you can get the parts yourself at somewhere like Western Pump.

Like they say the PVC gate valve is the hardest to find but I'm using a slice gate valve on my CS8-3 and it's working fine.
