Having the return pump in the same chamber as the skimmer is a BAD idea.. no matter HOW hard you try your GOING to suck micro bubbles into your Display Tank..

Micro Bubbles = BAD

[AqueonProducts]

@mr22turbo There are many options for skimmer placement in the Pro Flex to avoid microbubbles. If a skimmer has an outlet tube (like the Coralife skimmers) there is a large window in the wall between chambers 2 and 3 that the outlet can be directed into chamber 2 where the microbubbles can be diffused either by natural degassing or be screened out by having to go through the sump sponge located at the bottom of the chamber.

it may be me but whats the point of the filter bags when the water from the outlet is coming in to chamber 1 and then exiting through the adjustable slot,therefor bypassing the sock filters ?

[AqueonProducts]

@katiedave1098 the water goes into the bubble diffuser- the water will fill this area then drain into the sock filters

Hi I'm very interested in purchasing model 1 could you please give me the exact measurements length/width/height as different websites have slightly different measurements, I am limited with space so need the exact measurements, thank you

Ahhhhhhhh 80's School video series lol

I still don't quite understand how the filter socks work for this. Normally the return water will go direct into the socks to filter away the detritus etc.
