So I've got micro bubbles coming out the bottom, backside of the skimmer. The strange thing is this is not a new skimmer, I just restarted my Reefer 250, and had this thing dialed in perfectly. The tank got cycled, I added fish/livestock, and everything was going great. I did a 12g waterchange yesterday (first real one since the cycle, never did a 50% change or anything). Then within 12 hours after the waterchange (maybe less), I notice the microbubbles. After an hour of tinkering with every combination possible (water/air/height) I am ready to throw it through the window. So it's unplugged for now. Any advice here? Extremely frustrating.
If I get it the bubbles to stop, the skimmer is overflowing like crazy. If I get the frothy bubbles dialed in well, the microbubbles are everywhere. Should I just let the microbubbles stay until they finally 'break-in' and go away, or what?
