    ok this is the filter with built in skimmer i have http://www.rrdist.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=30FB0000-1062529515 the skimmer hangs in the sump with the bottom open the skimmer pump has a pvc straight piece from it thats short then an 90 angle then a short piece staight where the air hose comes in then another angle piece should i set it up so it makes a tornado of bubble in the skimmer tube or just let the pvc blow the bubbles against the side of the skimmer tube? sorry i dont have a pic to show any one but i hope i described it good enough. basicly the pvc pieces coming from the skimmer pump form a c shap but i can adjust them.
