Beckett Skimmer 101

[kueytoc]

I have been trying to reduce the micro-bubbles coming out from my Beckett flow outlet using different methods like:

1.) sock covering the outlet

2.) filter wool placed in baffles

3.) My sump has only 3 partition with baffles in between. Beckett is placed in 2nd compartment.

The above methods are not perfect solution as micro-bubbles are still able to 'sneak' into the main tank.

Is there any other methods ? I heard from some reefers that one effective method is to extend the outflow tube above the sump water level.

Please advise.

Sump design is rather important for beckett skimmer.

I change my sump to resolve 0 micro bubble escaping to main tank.

I have double filter for my skimmer at the sump and multiple buffles to prevent bubbles.

Before that I try many ways but they do not works.
