I apologize for what may be the silliness of this question but I am baffled. I am in the process of setting up a sump for under my display tank. I have a 20 gallon tank as the sump and have three baffles in it for a bubble trap. What I can't figure out is how exactly does the protein skimmer work? Am I correct in that the water comes down the tube and then goes into the Sump area where the Protein Skimmer is and then the skimmer suck it up into the funnel? or does a hose goes from the DT right into the Protein skimmer? Next after the water comes out of the Skimmer where.how does it come out? I used to have a HOB skimmer and there was a piece of plastic that the water would flow down and back into the tank. How does it work with an insump skimmer? where does the water come out and how does get over the baffles in the bubble trap?
I apologize for these question but any assistance would be greatly appreciated as well as any reccomendations.
