I need your advice. installed a ps 75 Odysea protein skimmer and added an airstone for more bubbles. I heard it was more effective. Not sure how it will run yet but heard to give it a couple days and it has gotten a lot of ppl good results. But anyways, MICRO BUBBLES lol. I Foamed the out output chamber the best way possible and I am still getting bubbles. I read theres a negative effect to micro bubbles in regards to algae but Is there anything else i should know? How bad is it? any tips would help. thx

Get the airstone outta there. New skimmers take a few weeks to break in, if you didn't give it a vinegar and water bath before setting it up.

okay sounds good. Will the airstone make any difference at all?
