| Re: here i go again... protein skimmer time! I use a Mag 3 on my skimmer. The water pumps in the top, just like you have your drawing. The flow is to the bottom of the skimmer, where it exits. The INTAKE line on the skimmer is 1/2 inch, and the OUTPUT line is 3/4 inch, so there's no pressure build.
I do plan to post photos and a drawing. I can post the photos tonight, and the drawings (with measurements) tomorrow.
