    ok I have the skimmer what next?

    this is a photo of my new skeemer(350 needl wheel), I ll fix it on a sump I need your ideas.
    if you look to the sump plan, is it ok to put skeemer bump in area No 3?
    and I m planing to put another bump in area no 4 of the sump to send water to the show tank ,please advise me.
    one last think is it ok to stop the air bump in the show tank because I have this skeemer and will mix the air with water.

    Sure, area 3 is fine for the skimmer.

    As for air pumps, I have never used one. The key to keeping the water oxygenated lies in keeping it moving. The more flow, the higher the dissolved O2 content will be.

    Just say NO to CRABS

    do you mean the flow of the skeemer or the flow produced with wave maker or power head.
