I recently picked up a used bubble king 200 mini and I can’t get this to tune properly, it kicks out a ton of micro bubbles and the collection cup leaks.

what depth is everyone running these at?

is there a new gasket I can get for the middle part of the collection cup so water doesn’t pass through into the cup?

and how do you get it to stop producing micro bubbles? It’s running on a brand new tank 150 gallon tank with only 1 fish in it at the moment. Does it need more dissolved organics?

many help would be appreciated.

It needs to break in.. it will take a few days to settle down and the micro bubbles to stop… the break in will cure all your problems besides the leak to the cup.. if you take the o-ring off I’m sure you can find one at a hard ware store or make your own.. just find the same diameter ring and cut to length and super glue it together.
 
There is a thin black gasket that is fitted around the bottom of the center tube. If you are leaking between the center tube and the collection cup you’ll need it. Royal Exclusiv sells all these parts and ship them out of Ft Myers Florida. What water level are you running it? If I recall correctly mine was between 7-8”
