    Help with protein skimmer please

    So I got a protein skimmer going, it's brand new, been running a few days trying to see if it'll get past this ' break in ' stage everyone talks about.

    NYOS 160 Skimmer Drain Outlet Improvements?

    Any DIY or store bought solutions for this odd skimmer drain outlet on NYOS 160? I just have a kinked hose that comes out of it. Less than ideal. Was hoping someone else came up with or found a solution.
