Micro bubbles in tank

[Makalas]

Hello everyone once again. Finally my tank cycled and I got to little clown fish for starters. So fa so good.

newbie question here

At the same time I turned on skimmer and find loads of bubbles are in the sump and tank. Am i doing something wrong‍ how to eliminate them. I know akimmer suppose to make bubbles but should they escape skimmer chamber so much.

I made sump myself. It has baffles to return pump section. Under, over, under but there are so many bubbles none of them being caught.
It feels like i did not do somet
Few photos for reference. Any advise welcome and thank you

From what I’ve heard skimmers need to “break in” and will release many micro bubbles at the start and the amount will surely reduce over time

Thank you for response. Yeah reading a lot about it. Never had reef tank so not sure what is normal.

i thought if i need i will make adjustments to my sump but i guess maybe i just need to wait a little while

Let it run for a few days and just take the collection part off and let it overflow into the sump. After that, put it back on and dial it in. Make sure your skimmer is in the right amount of water.

Most likely just the break in period. Needs to get a slime coat built up before it starts to function properly. If it's overflowing the collection cup right now I suggest taking the cup off the top and just letting is spill over into your sump for a few days. Also make sure that your skimmer is sitting in no more than 9.5" - 11" of water. Looks like you have it on a stand but double check the height. In the picture it looks like it's above the markings on the side of the skimmer which usually indicate the sweet spot for water height

Also open it up all the way until it's broken in and then dial it in

what they said plus, dial the air back a lot as well

You mean reduce air?

 

[dedragon]

yes, is there a dial on the air intake to reduce the amount of air going into the pump? most skimmers now have one, if not it isnt hard to add an inline air valve for like $2
