Skimmers produce huge amounts of bubbles (hence the name foam fractionators). The filter sock is before the skimmer (flow wise) and the bubbles can easily make their way back to the return pump without the bubble trap.

And I TOTALLY agree with you about the real estate being exceedingly valuable.

Sorry for jumping in here........I kind of forgot, this is Brett's design
