    I have a Bubble Magus skimmer that is kicking out way too many bubbles--is there a way to attach a filter sock or something else I could do to stop the bubbles before they get to my baffles?

    Hello, my MTC 250 put out way too many bubbles. I drilled about twenty 1/4 inch holes in a piece of plexi that's the width of my sump. I used a glass bit sothat it didn't shatter. This was placed infront of the exit line to the main drive. Then I used two layers of filter foam. One large particle and one small particle. This traps the bubbles and creates another area for bacteria to grow. Cheap bubble trap ( 25 bucks)
