air line to skimmer out side

[sergifed91]

I'm going to be doing another build. instead of using a co2 scrubber I will be running an airline to the outside. i'll be using pvc pipes from the ceiling to the skimmer in the sump. what is a good skimmer that can handle this. it will be a 30 feet run from skimmer to the out side. I plan on using a half inch to inch diameter pvc pipe. and capping it off at the inside end with a hole in the cap for the airline to run into. I'm thinking a red sea 600. can this handle what I'm wanting to do? if not please recommend a good skimmer. I am wanting to stay away from eshopps skimmers. got one now. yes it does the job and is a work horse but never really been happy with tht performace as of lately. even after I have cleaned it as much as I can possibly can. also something that's easy to clean. that's another reason I'm looking at red sea skimmers. they look like they'll be easier to clean.. this will be going on a 90 g marine land reef ready tank.

I have a skimmer that is not the greatest (can't remember what I have) but i just run a 1/4 inch flexible hose and it runs about 20 feet and it didn't make a difference

Having owned Bubble King, Vertex and Reef Octopus in the past, I have found Life Reef to be the simplest and in my experience, the most reliable. They are also very easy to run an air line off of. I have found that the easiest way to get outside air is an air pump outside leading to a air diffuser in my tank. Benn running one for 18 months with no issue.

can you specify or link a diffuser you are referring to?
