SCA 301 Skimmer question

[glb]

For those of you who have an SCA skimmer, I have a question. The pump goes under the skimmer and there's a hole in the skimmer where the air bubbles come in from the pump. With my 301, there's a gap between the top of the pump and the hole. Because of this, some of the bubbles escape out of the sides of the skimmer. It seems like the pump should fit up against the hole to capture all the bubbles. I've thought about putting the pump on a small platform. Am I the only one with this issue?

Mine seems to push up in pretty tight if this is what you're talking about.

Mine doesnt have that black tube. Hmmm

So it seems like you're missing this piece.

Actually I just found it in my return pump spare parts. Thank goodness!!!

If you do the mod to the tube by cutting off the three section on the right side. It will skim much better.

You mean the top third at the first notch?

Yes. The barb portion of the tube.
