    hello,

    i have a brand new Euro Reef rs135 that's been running for 24 hours in my 100 gallon reef aquarium.

    the problem i'm having is it's creating too many micro bubbles and it's filling up my aquarium to the point where it looks completely foggy.

    i've attached a video i took of the skimmer in hopes someone might be able to help me fix it.

    YouTube - sump problems

    can someone please let me know how to fix this. it's driving me crazy. thanks!

    there is a break in period or slime in , It'll quit, might take up to two weeks. Are there any adjustments you can make?

    I have a Euro Reef 80 what i did was place some filter floss where the outlet is on the sump (in the water) so the bubbles don't splash in. It seemed to help quite a bit
