On a euroreef skimmer, where does the water enter, and exit, etc? Does anybody know of a website that explains all of that, without having to look at on in real life?

Thank you again... I just wanted to know how the bubbles stay in the skimmer and not escape.

Hope that helps, but not sure why she put it, I think she forgot a linkey. What is the skimmer in? A sump, with no baffles, like mine? If so, you will have some issue with it... I have my uv stuck in the end of my mag, at the furthest I can get it from my skimmer, and then I have that surrounded by rocks.
Post some pics if you are having more trouble! :)

The question is... how does the water flow through the skimmer. Thanks!

The water is injected into the skimmer chamber via the pump, along with the air bubbles. The bubbles mix with the water and trap excess waste, which rises up the chamber and fills the collection cup. Excess water exits the tube via the pipe outlet. The wateter level can be fine tuned by raising or lowering the riser pipe.
