Deltec 2060

[dimidragos]

Hello, I use a Deltec 2060 in a new 125g tank and my question is what I have done wrong that I have soo many air bubbles from the outlet. I know that a new tank with a new skimmer can produce air bubbles but I don’t think it’s that because I have same air bubbles amount even if the air pump of the skimmer is off. I posted a picture with air pump off and a lot of air bubbles. I don’t think I have any air liking in the plumbing connection because I don’t see how. I use a Eheim pump to feed the skimmer like you see in the picture. I run this skimmer 20 days and same problem. The pump you see in sump and the rubber hose goes to the skimmer. What can be???

Can you post shots of all your piping and all of your sump's sections?

Sorry, I don’t know if you see something because my small technical room is a mess. I believe I need to change something. If you notice I don’t use both outlets from the tank. I plan to use the second outlet to feed the skimmer directly from the tank.

Unless i am missing something, I believe those are just bubbles caused by the water churning as it hits the surface, as any drain into the sump will do. Not really any cause for concern I'd say. I don't think id have the skimmer drain empty so close to the feed pump though.

Agree with you but the sump is too small and I choose a place not close to the main circulation pump.

This in the picture is the pump who feed the skimmer in first chamber. The feed pump is in 3th room
