Hello,
ever since I did a complete cleaning of my skimmer (4-5 weeks ago) it has been spilling micro bubbles non-stop. It didn’t use to do that for the first 18 months so I don’t know what happened. It’s skimming fine.
Someone on this thread had the same problem (see post #7). They saw a Tunze picture online showing a skimmer with a provided sponge on the bottom. They put a similar sponge on theirs and it fixed the problem.
@rvitko mine did not come with a sponge either. Should I just cut a piece of foam and place it on the bottom, like the picture shows? If so, how thick should it be for my skimmer ? And why aren’t these foams provided ?
Thanks !

Tunze 9004 Skimmer Generating Tons of Microbubbles in Display
Hey all. I have a 50g rimless tank with no sump - instead I use an in-tank Tunze protein skimmer and filter. They seem to do the trick, but I do get a ton of microbubbles being kicked out from the skimmer back into the tank - and not just when the water level gets a bit low. I'm not sure this...
