I also use sponge block after my protein skimmer water inlet to block micro bubble from entering my tank…is there anything you would recommend in place of the sponge block???
Yes that’s a problem. My method is to have the skimmer drain to a “clean” side of the sump. You create a partition in the sump. One “dirty” from the tank, and one “clean” from the skimmer. THe water gets returned to the tank from the clean side. Then the only concern for small bubbles is where the water from the skimmer is in relation to the outlet to the return pump.

- Protein Skimmer, to remove nutrients and waste from the water before it is processed by bacteria and improve water quality (see: What is a protein skimmer?
- that there is very little waste/protein in the water to be extracted by the skimmer?
