Are those three chambers completely separate? I would say no. If they are all interconnected then the water will fluctuate in all three chambers/compartments equally. What am I not understanding here?See attached

This is the sump I have an aqueon proflex model 2....see attached
WMC said:OK, I see. That sump is designed for the skimmer to sit in the center and the skimmer pump will sit in the outside chamber.

yes, the three chambers are completely separate. they have solid partitions separating them.Are those three chambers completely separate? I would say no. If they are all interconnected then the water will fluctuate in all three chambers/compartments equally. What am I not understanding here?

mr_X said:there is no space for a skimmer if you do this. not that i can figure.
did you purchase this already? if not, you can make your own sump out of a standard glass tank very easily. it will serve you better in the long run because it will be exactly as you need it, plus, it will be a lot cheaper.
mr_X said:you can always use a HOB refugium, or a HOb skimmer for that matter.
mr_X said:cool. let us know how it turns out. do a review on it maybe.
mr_X said:do you have it adjusted properly?
rncarter said:I think it is adjusted properly. It sits in about 7-8" of water. It creates foam but the foam doesn't go go the collection cup.
mr_X said:that water level should be up to the neck like steve said. it's adjusted way too low to get any skimmate.
mr_X said:what do you mean, wet foam/dry foam? do you mean the cup is filling with light colored water like tea and you want it darker?
