Eventually - give it time to break in. Just take off skimmer cup and let overflow into sump. May take a couple of weeks.I just set up my protein skimmer will the bubbles in my tank from the setup go away?
I have a xyclone protein skimmer, it's also hanging on my 75gal. i don't have a sump.A lot of skimmers will do this for a few hours to a few weeks when you first turn them on. They’ll usually break in and this will stop. But there are some skimmers that are just notorious for having continuous micro bubbles. I don’t know what kind of skimmer you have or where you have it, but if you can make the water after the skimmer go through some sort of filter sock or filter pad or go over a baffle it can minimize the amount of bubbles that get into the DT. If it’s a HOB skimmer, the only thing you can really do is have the return run through a sponge (make sure to clean fairly often), or only run it at night, the bubbles won’t hurt anything, they’re just aesthetically unappealing and distracting.
i don't know exactly what that is or where its located it's my first time having a skimmerA foam ring around the inlet will stop bubbles.
