Hello Guys,
I just bought a protein skimmer that can be use in the sump or hang on the sump. The pump has to be inside the water to work is not an outside pump. I want to put the skimmer outside the sump, not hanging on and the tube that goes from the pump to the skimmer might be like 2 feet long or longer. Would that cause a problem with the air bubbles reaching the skimmer or it doesn't matter how far away the pump is from the skimmer?
If that is a problem could I connect one of those air pumps to the air intake of the protein skimmer pump? Would that work?
