Red Sea Max E skimmer

[lickyricky]

Hey everyone!

It's Friday I seem to be having an issues with the Red Sea Msk 900 skimmer. I'm not sure if it's because it's new and needs to break in. The compartment fills with bubbles and somehow they make it to my DT even though I'm using a sponge. Makes my water look cloudy there are so many. Take a look at the pic below. I did pull the skimmer out and check the air line and it looked secure. I still have the air valve on due to over skimming. Any help would be appreciated

Correction - MICRO bubbles

I had all kinds of bubbling when I first started up my RSME-170 as well. It settled down in the first week.

Just set up my MAX E 170 yesterday. Lots of bubbling out of the "flow adjuster." Is that what you experienced as well?

yeah very similar, but it eventually settled down.

Can some one post a pic of the air adjuster and where it goes I am having the same problem and I don't have a air adjuster
