protein skimmer

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.

Does anyone know if you can effectively use a Biocube protein skimmer in a sump? I'm thinking it will still work as effectively, but was just curious if anyone has done this? This is the one I'm thinking of...

I am just getting back into reefing, and I'm going to be setting up a 150 gal tank. But, in the next couple years I am going to upgrade to a tank around 300 gallons, so I want to purchase equipment that I can use on the 150, as well as on the larger tank I purchase down the line. I was thinking...

This is the newest version of CoralVu's in-sump space saver skimmer. I purchased in May and used it 18 days (just long enough to break in). Sadly, it is much too large for my 75 gal system. This is a situation where bigger wasn't better. It worked great after break-in, but not consistently...
