Skimmer issue

Ok my wife bought me a skimmer off ebay for my 110gal tank. Heres the thing ive never seen one like this before i works amazingly well produces alot of skimmate i got to empty the cup twice a day but the major issue is MICROBUBBLES this thing puts out alot of them and i dont have a clue how to stop it also can anyone tell me what kind it is or brand.

Heres the link to it
Aquarium Protein Skimmer w 530GPH Pump Powerhead 80 to 150 Gal Tank Micro Bubble | eBay

 

you hanging it in your DT? ..Put some porous foam over the output..that should do it you may have to experiment with different medias...but it will work. 8)
...and from the looks of it..make sure the pipe is in the water not free falling into the water...if Im seeing it correct.

 

ive tried putting porus media over it but the flow is too strong i had it on the side but the bubbles were alot worse now its not as bad but they are still there

 

is it falling or is it exiting under water?
how new is it?

 

its underwater ive tried it both ways and its brand new only had it up and running a couple hours

 

ok ..sometimes they need some break in time...a week or so..if you can deal with it...they settle down as a rule.

 

what causes them to do that and do you happen to know what kind it is it came new but with no paper work tags etc

 

It looks like a good enough skimmer..you said it is doing a good job..so many brands,,and knock offs out there it would be hard to say...the basic design has been replicated by the thousands...Break in times for some of these HOB models can vary...I had to tweak mine for a month or so before it finally settled down...but that was years ago : ) a combination of positions and medias...can you turn the pump down a bit? what size tank you in? How about a couple pictures? maybe a visual may point something out that has not been discussed. : )

 

To tell you the truth I really wouldn't expect much from a $40.00 skimmer. LG is absolutely right about break in time though.

 

It looks like there are initials on the cup lid. Google that and maybe you can find the brand and possible MFG support that way if that's what you're interested in. It looks like a Chinese knock off hat I saw on Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters & Importers from the world's largest online B2B marketplace-Alibaba.com. You can buy hundreds of pretty much anything you want at low prices for resale there.

I was having trouble with the very inexpensive skimmer that came with my used set up. After making major mods to the sump I was getting lots of micro bubbles. I ran a length of tubing behind what was a wall retaining the bio-balls ( now gone) and directed the output from the skimmer as far from the return pump as possible. That Cleared up the bubbles.

Since I cut a hole in the perforated drawer bottom that used to distribute water over the bio balls and installed a 7 inch sock, I've got a straight drop on the line coming into the sump. I've got to design a baffle to quiet the water interring the sock.
Anybody have an idea for that ?... Vinnyboombatz? I'll bet you've had a run with that challenge.
