I purchased an Aquamaxx ConeS RC-3 skimmer for my system. It has been setup and running for over 6 months now. No matter how I tuned it or whatever I do I always end up with bubbles all over my sump. I have tried putting oil around the top and sides, tuning it to the lowest setting, and raising the height but sure enough a few days later bubbles everywhere. Is it possible I just purchased a skimmer that is too powerful for my system? The system is 160G display and 40G sump. The skimmer is rated for 450G light and 270G heavy load.
I really hate to have to buy a new one but I'm starting to think I have no other choice.
