Default Protein skimmer

like i posted in another thread, i juz bought a macro protein skimmer yesterday. everything is working juz fine.

however, i would like to ask if its normal for the water outlet to poduce a lot of bubbles back to the tank?

is there anyway to reduce the no of bubbles coz it makes the tank blurry?

You may want to pos a pic of the outlet. There shouldn't be micro bubble going back to the main tank.......

Default Micro Bubble Killer

Deltec uses high density sponge to kill the micro bubble..Check out the blue sponge and the perforated tube...

I do notice that if you are using Rowa, it tend to make the skimmer crazy and a lot of micro bubble come out from the return pipe.

Jus need to get the sponge and the perforated tube and attach it to the outlet of your skimmer .
