Got a eshopps nano skimmer and just installed it yesterday, noticed a lot of micro bubbles on the tank today and found out it was the skimmer causing the issue.

Any solutions? I’d like to add a skimmer to the tank but not many options for a nano AIO

some will produce microbubbles until they're broken in.

Time is the best solution, you are in a breaking in period, which may last weeks.

I think mine always produces SOME micro bubbles, can you put the skimmer before a baffle or some foam/filter floss down stream of the skimmer
The skimmer is in the middle baffle separate from the return pump
