    Hi,

    I just set up a 29 gal Oceanic Bio Cube with an SR3 skimmer which fits in the back canister. My intention is to place my 2 seahorses in this nano tank but I find that the protein skimmer produces way to many micro bubbles that get exhausted out into the tank? Any ideas?

    The skimmer came with a RVT Rejuvenation powerhead.

    Thanks

    It should break in after a while, however not having skimmer is the safe route

    What chamber do you have it in? I have a BC29 as well and have an Aquatic Life Internal Mini protein skimmer running with no micro bubbles in my display. Also, +1 to the break in time.
