Need help with micro bubble problem in Coralife Super Skimmer

I have been using this skimmer for the past 4 months. Works fine. Now suddenly there are a lot of micro bubbles all over the tank. I did a water change and the bubbles started. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks much in advance!

 

Am not familiar with that skimmer, but it sounds like you need to check the air intake.

how do you have the output setup? mine doubles back in the sump and never have a problem.

 

It is HOB. Not sure what to check in the air input? Any thoughts? The micro bubbles are coming from the bubble diffusion chamber bottom.

 

might need to use a filter sock then.

 

How do I do that?

 

attach one to the output from the skimmers return hose. a fine filter sock should "break" up the bubbles before going into your tank. also have you tried adjusting the microbubble level ?

 

I fixed it. Trimmed the output hose about an inch so that it didn't reach the end of the bubble diffuser box and that was it. Next time I will RTFM.
