Hi

i setup a BM QQ3 48 hours ago on my tank. Its been micro bubbles nonstop and all the corals are ticked off and closed up. Does anyone have any tips or info on how long it takes for this skimmer to break in? I appreciate any help!

Still the same situation. Nothing has changed at all since saturday afternoon which is when I put it on the tank.

I hate this skimmer- worst thing I have ever bought. Almost 30 years in the hobby. My CPR back pack from 15 years ago was better than this. And I hated that thing

I can't get mine to do anything, makes a noise and that's it
 
I have a new one, it's making a noise and doing nothing else, fed up with it now
 
Not sure if anyone is having problems with micro bubbles on this but fixed mine this afternoon. The black filter supplied is too small for the opening of the outlet. I found by cutting about a 1/2cm strip off the spare filter and placing it at the bottom next to the standard one, securing the base with an elastic band, has pretty much eradicated the micro bubbles.
