I’m having a lot of issues with microbubbles coming out of my RO Elite 150 SSS skimmer. It’s in 8 inches of water. I have the pump turned all the way down and the water level almost closed off to 1 and I’m still getting a ton of bubbles out of the return. My tank is a Red Sea Reefer 425 and the bubbles are enough that it will come through the bubble trap and make its way to the return. I fully cleaned the skimmer and I’m still getting issues. How do I fix this?

Btw the skimmer is broken in and has been running for about 8 months
 
I’m having a similar issue to a less extent. Here’s a picture but a small continuous stream of bubbles lead straight out the discharge tub.
