Im currently running a 30 gl tank with a cpr hob refugium. I have the aquac remora skimmer. Its been up and running for about 2 weeks and i still have quite a bit of micro bubbles in the tank. Does anyone have any ideahow long this will last or any ideas on how to reduce them?

If the bubbles don't subside in a few more days, you can add a little restriction to the intake pump. Too much flow through the unit will not allow the micro bubbles to float their way back up through the water column and they will exit with the water return.

Another idea would be to try to route the pumps inlet another direction.

If the bubbles are coming from the refugiums spillway than pointing it away from them could help.
