Protein skimmer

[chris nailon]

Just installed a SC-3o1 protein skimmer to me pro flex model 1 sump(return section). Everything is working fine, expect now I'm getting a small amount of micro bubbles being pushing to the display tank.

Will is resolve its self once the skimmer is broken in?

Any advice?

Can you see if there are small bubbles coming out of the skimmer's exit tube?

Yes, a few bubbles are being released. Should there be some, should I tighten the connections?

May want to put some mesh around the tip of the exit, it will slow the water and usually dissipate any bubbles.

You can also put the skimmer in a section of the sump without the return. This way the bubbles have time to dissipate before getting to the return.
