    Hello,
    I am thinking about upgrading to an Aqua C Urchin Skimmer in the hopes off having little to no microbubbles. Can anyone who has an Aqua C Urchin Skimmer let me know whether or not you have had any problems with microbubbles?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    i have the remora and only had micro bubles for about the first 2 weeks. once it's broken in , it'd be fine. i'd go for it.

    I have the urchin pro and have never seen any bubbles in my sump. Its a good skimmer once its up and running for about a week. Start with the O ring in the middle and go up or down depending on how its doing. I run it about 3/4 of the way up to get good foam.
