![]() My skimmer won't stop spewing out bubbles! Is there some sort of trick I can use to stop it from filling my tank with tiny bubbles?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks,

![]() If the skimmer is in the sump, is there baffles between it and the return pump?
I'm having some bubbles in the display as well though mine appear probably more from the overflows. I've ordered some 100 micron filter bags to place over them, might be able similiar for the discharge of the skimmer. |

![]() I've tried closing the air valve a little, but if I close it too much then my skimmer stops working all together. I'll have to wait until morning though to see if it works.

![]() So it's morning now and there are still bubbles! Doesnt' even seem like they've gotten any better. Plus I've turned down the air valve so much that there is no foam going into the chamber. There is still air being pumped into the skimmer but not enough to create foam. What should I do?
