Microbubble Hell

[stepho725]

Set up my skimmer and my output is just dumping microbubbles like crazy. I've tried a fine sponge with a coarse sponge over it and no luck. Anyone have any suggestions? It is an ESHOPPS PSK-100. Very clean, working great otherwise. I'm going to call them and see if they still make any sponge coverings for this model or not but I've never really worked with skimmers in the past and my water column looks something like seltzer water! I cannot see the back wall. Super bummed.

Break it in by letting it run for a few days see if things mprove.

Yup...that's not unusual with new skimmers. They will stop after a break in period.
Annoying I know!!

I was able to fix it with some time and coarse sponge :)
