Micr bubbles

Ok Ok i know this has been put on here before but my aqua c remora is still having micro bubbles and wanted to get rid of them.does anyone know how to get rid of them?

 

how long have you had it?? it seems to make more bubbles for me after I clean it real good or do a large water change, but then it goes away(the amt. cuts in half) after about 2 weeks

 

What kind of pump are you using with your Remora? It may be possible that the pump is not working right or may be not the right size for your skimmer. I have the Remora and have not had that problem, knock on wood. Hopefully it will correct itself!

 

How long have you had it for? I have the Remora as well, it's been on my tank for almost a week, I still see microbubbles, but not as many as when it started working, in fact, after this short period of time, the microbubbles are close to zero.....so give it time.

 

it can take a month or so to break in a skimmer.i can't recommend this method but i super glued a peace of plastic to the return on my prizm skimmer directing the bubles toward the serface of the water,so that they did'nt go all through my tank, then took it back off after the bubles stopped.

 

ive had it for a month now.I have the 1200 Maxi jet that it comes with.I even adjusted the screws on the back.There are less when i did that but the ubbles just done go away and they are getting everywhere(under live rock).i really dont know what o do with this thing.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

 

are you adding anything to your water? additives? medication? supplements? on a daily semi-daily basis? this will cause your skimmer to produce extra bubbles. As for the ones under your LR, they will eventually make it back to the surface with water flow, tiny bubbles will join others and become big enough to be pushed up....happens in my tank. BTW does your remora have the white screw inside the unit? the screw that allows you to clean the intake tube? if so, try unscrewing it and cleaning the intake with the supplied brush.

 

i dont add anything.yea it does have the screw.i cleaned it ou yesterday thinking that if i cleaned it the bubbles would go away.but they didnt.should i pull the screw and leave it out.but would that mess up the pressure of the flow?

 

I forgot to ask you, did the bubbles appear out of the blue or have they been consistant from day one? If they suddenly appeared, you may want to clean the skimmer. Do it by rising the whole unit with hot water. That seems to work for most people I have asked about this. And about the screw, leave it on. Do not work the skimmer without it.

Other things that may affect the performance are constant on/off cycles of the skimmer. I keep mine on 24/7.

 

its been like this since day 1.i would have thought the break in period would have been over after 2 weeks.the box says 2 weeks.the screws are still there.i know better to remove those.lol.
