Did you adjust the air flow/air intake? Believe it or not, if the skimmer isn't getting enough air, it can cause the outflow to have lots of microbubbles. This happened with mine. So I opened up the air intake and the microbubbles were gone. I know it seems backwards, but it worked!

What type of skimmed do you have? Internal/External/HOB?

Have you checked the pump to.see if you have any obstructions. Do you notice any saltcreep in the silencer? If you do run some RODI water in it and see if it clears it up.
