    it's a shame that majano are pests because I think they are actually kind of cool looking. Congrats on the ammonia and majano success.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yes a new skimmer tends to produce a lot of micro bubbles. I have had the older version of a Sea Clone and all I can say is it's better than nothing I guess. Every day I was dialing mine in to reduce noise and get the level in the skimmer column right.

    I would suggest you put the skimmer on the sump so the microbubbles go in there. As for the sump setup, I can't really tell from the picture what it looks like now. Are you able to get some more pictures of it, different angles too?

    It looks like it is good how it is but It looks like you can add water more water to it but I may not be seeing it correctly. Just make sure you can turn off your return pump and the water not rise too much in your sump and overflow. If you are able to increase the water the skimmer may be able to reach the water.
