skimmer is causing bubbles in display tank

i have an asm mini g skimmer and it is causing bubbles in my display tank. any body out there know of any mods or solutions.

 

how long have you had the skimmer set up? Is the skimmer located in a sump?

 

Does your sump have a bubble trap?

 

If it's a new skimmer, that's not abnormal, give a week or two to break in. If it's in your sump, then you can either build a bubble trap or attach a filter sock to the outlet. If it's in your DT, then you can do the filter sock, but that's unsightly IMO, or try to stick a piece of sponge in the outlet.

 

my tank has been running with out a skimmer since i first started the tank on 3/20/10, i was going to run the skimmer for a week then add fish. my skimmer is in my sump, so do i just add more pluming to the skimmer and wrap a filter sock around it or is it a different material?

 

Give it time to break in. Once it slimes up, you probably wont have anymore bubbles.
