I have an aquamax hob 1.5 skimmer that I will be using on my tank. The plumbing is very congested in the second chamber of the aio section. This is how my skimmer looks in its stock configuration
Why does the output have an opening? Is this to allow the water to drain freely? I understand the 90 on the end is to help with micro bubbles and it really doesn’t fit very well I can lower it by adding tubing but here is my fix...do u think this will work the same? It would move the output to the return chamber where I have much more room.
If I got this route I would like to paint the fitting. Is this doable and what kinda paint can I use on the pvc? it may come into contact with water that is why I ask. Thanks everyone.
