    I can't take it any more! The micro bubbles my slimmer is producing is beyond ridiculous! I have the bakpak 2r+ with the rio 600. I researched ways to fix it and I tried the microfiber net and I tried the bubble trap box. I've called CPR and asked the tech support an they said to let the skimmer settle. Well it's 12 weeks later and the problem is only getting worse. It makes the tank look horrible. Any recommendations on what to do next ??

    Is it in a sump or HOB?

    Not sure what you can do with HOB models. In sump it's easier to control and stop before getting to the DT. Consider building a sump!

    Consider building a sump--easier to solve the problem before the bubbles reach the DT. Other than that, not sure what else you can do.
