Its been running for 1 day at 8" deep minimum setting and produced so much micro bubbles in the sump and in a display tank. The two baffles doesn't help at all.

It is not uncommon on new skimmers to produce micro bubbles pretty heavily for the first few days even weeks sometimes. I would let everything get a little slimy and then play with the power settings on it and minor water level changes to fine tune it from there.

Maybe you can post a video so we can see this beast at work?

Ha, wow.. very patient guy.

I have one sitting here for my own personal tank and am chomping at the bit to get it in. But there have been no pumps for them available for some time now. But that will very soon be resolved. Still bugs me to have this beauty sitting here and no pump to stick in it.

Changed depth to 6.5" and it looks better. Still little bubbles in TD at a min. Setting. Find the skimmer cup a little too tight fit. Took the o-ring out and polished the groove .03" smaller and it perfect.
