Wondering what you all think of this idea, from the dark recesses of my mind. LOL
Ok I have a ASM G-3 on my 75g tank. I have a dual outlet with varible rheostat air pump, sitting doing nothing. I have a Rena micro bubbler ceramic airstone with the tiny bubble out put. I am thinking about adding the airstone to my skimmer running the line in thru the little fill vent on the bottom of the skimmer body. (its a little slot on the base) using the suction cup to attach the bubbler and seeing what kind of water to air volume I get. I get lots of nasty thick skimate already though for some reason I want more. LOL
As it stands now the skimmer produces about 1/4 of the volume of mix in the skimmer body as air. (I checked that by seeing where the level was with out air input. That may be the wrong way to do it.) I want to get it up to a 1/3 air.
Anybody done this? Have any ideas? Thoughts? Opinions?
