Hi guys, I have just downgraded to an Aquatopia 80L Marine Tank. It has been running for about 3 days and I have noticed lots of micro bubbles in the display. I think they are overflow from the skimmer. Does anyone have the same system that can lend any advice to stop the micro bubbles. PLEASE!
 
Could you post pictures of your equipment area where the majority of the micro bubbles are being made? I don't have the tank but I would be willing to help trouble shoot this with you.
 
Not really the best photos but here we go.

That's the display. There is only one inlet to the top right. It is aimed at the surface but doesn't cause bubbles. I have checked.

Skimmer to the left, then biofilter, then heater compartment with return pump.

As you can see in the third photo, I have placed some filter wool at the top of the third compartment that the overflow has to filter through in an attempt to decrease the bubbles. It seems to be working a little bit.
