    Hi just started this hobby, I need help. Is the protein schemer supposed to be bubbling all the time?

    Hello and welcome..

    Yes your skimmer is to bubble 24-7. If there is a adjustment keep the bubbles towards the button or base of the collection cup. Also if there is a adjustment for it the smaller the bubbles the better.


    How big is your set up..? how many gal / liters. Is it a reef ? How long has it been up and running.?



    Happy Reefing..!!

    If the skimmer is new, it will bubble until it is broke in.
    There are usually some adjustments needed to get the skimmer to produce the skimmate that you are looking for as well. Just look up your model in the search bar and you will get a lot of good info
