    I just purchased a used CPR BAK PAK 2 skimmer. Whenever I turn the air on in the skimmer micro bubbles come out of the skimmer. Also my tank is only about 2 months old. I think it might be to young for a skimmer. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stop panicking. Wait about two weeks to see how it breaks in on your tank. Tune the skimmer. Use it in a sump with bubble traps. Lots of ways to deal with this, and it's not a problem or emergency.
