I have this skimmer running on a 150 cube after a reefmat 1200. My tank is light-medium stocked with 5 tangs, 2 clowns, 1 chromi, 2 anthias, 2 damsels, 1 sixline, 1 Foxface, cleaner shrimp.
Tank/skimmer has been set up for 1 month and I'm still battling microbubbles in the main display. It's beyond frustrating to the point where I've almost given up trying to fix it.
I'm 99% sure the culprit is the skimmer, which is still shooting out loads of microbubbles at the bottom of the skimmer. Despite a return baffle and a large sponge filling the whole return baffle, these bubbles are making their way to the display.
Skimmer is under 10 inches of water. I've tried everything from 8-10 inches of depth. I've tried tuning the nozzle on the skimmer from 1-5 but nothing really seems to make a difference. In general, I'm not getting a lot of skimmate. It's very little but very dark and slowly fills the cup. Guessing it's a combo of lower nutrients and strong mechanical filtration/not a lot of fish?
Here is a video of my skimmer bubbles. I bought this skimmer second-hand in almost brand-new condition. A month's worth of microbubbles is driving me to the point of replacing this skimmer for something else or removing it.
It appears to be assembled properly from what I've checked.
