I have a red sea 300 DC skimmer that I elevated with egg crate. Everyday I have to tilt the skimmer to release a few very large air bubbles. Is there any way to avoid this? Anyone else have this issue? TIA

Why are you using egg crate for?I have a red sea 300 DC skimmer that I elevated with egg crate. Everyday I have to tilt the skimmer to release a few very large air bubbles. Is there any way to avoid this? Anyone else have this issue? TIA
Use a brick or bend some plexiglass with a heat gun and a board. If your not handy there are people on esty that will do it for you. Hell I am going to bend some plexiglass. Pay for the shipping and I will give it to you. What size do you need?The skimmer sits way too deep in the sump.
On the rare occasion I move my skimmer - maybe every few months - there are alway gas bubble under the base of it.I have a red sea 300 DC skimmer that I elevated with egg crate.

I do appreciate it, but I'll be able to tackle that. It'll be fun too. ThanksUse a brick or bend some plexiglass with a heat gun and a board.

The water that leaves the skimmer exists through the bottom. When there's air trapped underneath the foam in the skimmer is real low until I release the air.On the rare occasion I move my skimmer - maybe every few months - there are alway gas bubble under the base of it.
Why do they concern you?
I haven't had that problem... That seems strange... It's happening outside the body and should have no affect on what's happening inside the body...The water that leaves the skimmer exists through the bottom.

That makes sense. I'm having a heck of a time tuning this thing. Very I consistent. I'll pull out out and disassemble it to make sure I have all the pieces correct. Thank youI haven't had that problem... That seems strange... It's happening outside the body and should have no affect on what's happening inside the body...
I don't understand how that would happen. The water height inside the skimmer is related to the column of rising bubbles from the skimmer pump and the air intake. Anything under the base of the skimmer should not have any effect unless it's actually causing the skimmer to float higher in the sump.The water that leaves the skimmer exists through the bottom.
