CPR MOD

I recently modded a CPR Aqua Fuge skimmer. I connected two large air pumps with a gang valve to get max psi on a single outlet.
This air would be forced through a long tube of airline tubing that would power an airstone in the main skimmer chamber. This increased foam production would help maximize the power of the CPR fuge skimmer. Here is a quick model of what i needed to drill.
The black lines are where I will make a hole with my drill
The Red where I will run the airline tubing from pumps to the airstone through.
The Green is the foam.
I did this relatively easily and it took all of 10 minutes. Here is how it looked when it was done: (NOTE: my collection cup is dirty and the tubing is highlighted in red.)
It worked great, but needed some time to break in and get it right. Here is the foam production right after I turned it on:
