Right now I'm using the Excalibur skimmer that came with my 54 gal corner tank. The skimmer sits in the same chamber as the return pump. The outflow tube goes over the baffle into the middle chamber, which has a gap at the bottom.

The tank came with a sponge pad, can I use that for a bubble trap or will it cut off too much flow? I've seen HOB skimmers with a bubble trap, is there any sort of generic material that I can use until I get a better skimmer?

I'm thinking of eventually using the CPR Bak-pak reef ready dual, due to space issues. I may try to find another in-sump skimmer, but it has to go in the back corner of a corner stand. Right now the collection cup is behind the drain and return lines.
