Thank you in advance!

Yep the overflow height is maxed out at 6" b/c of the bafflei have owned 2 atb 840's both liked 6" of water... do you have room to make a box for your skimmer to sit in? could empty your drain into the box and have it overflow into the sump, why not just raise the level of water in your skimmer section? no overflow capacity?
yea not alot of height to work with on a 20 long. you could make a box for the skimmer to sit in to raise the water to a level that the skimmer will perform to your liking. would make it harder to service for sure! why do you feel you need to raise the water level? cone style skimmers typically do better in shallow water...It’s two twenty longs I connected using a union
I've tweaked it all I can and I can't seem to get the bubbles to pop into the collection cup!yea not alot of height to work with on a 20 long. you could make a box for the skimmer to sit in to raise the water to a level that the skimmer will perform to your liking. would make it harder to service for sure! why do you feel you need to raise the water level? cone style skimmers typically do better in shallow water...
I agree. Recomendation on what to stop it up with?have you tried raising the water level in the section to see if any change? like during a water change or possibly blocking the teeth on that baffle so the water has to flow over the top? looks like you could get an inch out of that atleast and still not make a major change to the sump itself.. might be all you need?
