    since the skimmer fits in the last chamber you might end up haveing micro bubble problems.

    Could I somehow attach a micro filter sock over the outlet?

    You could try that or you can cut some acrylic and make a mini baffle. Or even easier cut a thick piece of foam and fit it between the return pump and the skimmer.

    If you haven't bought it already you can always build one to fit your exact needs. I built mine to fit perfectly along with everything I need for equipment and a refug. it's not too hard just don't rush it and mind your measurements :)
