Thanks Untamed .... I also agree about the materials. I used to work in a camera shop another life time ago way before digital and computers. I always
said you can have the crappiest camera body but it was the "LENS" thats taking the pictures. Its the "pump" thats making the bubbles. plus Im
showing off my display tank not my sump Just one more question what
is the purpose for the bubble plate?

Tanks.... Bill

This is how i did my 5 g skimmer. I also wanted to be able to clean the bottle neck, so I cut it out, glued on a 4" threaded coupling.

(Ignore the crappy silicone work... i was too lazy to take the thing apart and properly glue when the picture was taken.

The bubble plate is to reduce turbulence and channel the bubbles in the proper direction and orientation.
