fish rubbing on rock??

micro bubbles can also irritate their gills, just another thing to check.

i have lots of micro bubles from my taam rio nano skimmer i cant get the thing to stop with those bubles

[daniella3d]

hmmm..maybe you can put some sort of degasser? like some sort of floss in front of the water output? I don't know the rio but my deltec does that from time to time right after being cleaned and I put a piece of filter floss in front and tie it with rubber band to hold it in place and that remove some of the bubbles.

How long has this skimmer being in operation?

2 months should be enough for it to stabilize. Maybe give it a bit more air? I know with my skimmer when I restrict the air too much it create a lot of microbuble (Deltec 300) but produce a darker skimmate. When I increase the air intake it skimm more wet but produce no micro buble. Not sure yours will behave the same way but it is possibly a matter of fine tuning the air. I have also put some filter floss on the output to absorb and disperse some of the bubbles.
