Micro bubbles making my water cloudy ?

[Acipenser]

I purchased a Hydor slim skim nano, its been running for about 4 days in my 26 gallon bow front tank. It has started to skim pretty good but I noticed this morning that my tank was cloudy at first I thought something had disturbed the sand bed or maybe an ammonia spike but I checked the ammonia twice and it's almost at 0 ppm.

I shut the skimmer off for a bit and the water started to clear up. Can micro bubbles do this and if so how long before the skimmer equalizes and stops producing micro bubbles, At this point I am ready to pull the skimmer out and set up a larger tank with a sump - I can really see why one would set up a tank with a sump at this point.
