microbubbles?

[stephensmith23]

guy's im very new to saltwater aquariums just 2 weeks. By reading this i presume you should not have micro bubbles in the tank coming from the skimmer. I have a deltec mc500 and it constantly puts out a cloud of microbubbles any ideas how to sort it

[cuttingras]

how old is the skimmer and is there some kind of adjusting screw/dial for air intake?

If you adjust the air intake until you get no micro bubble in the tank. What is the foam like in the skimmer

from your other post stephen, I see the tank is only a few weeks old. it may be the skimmer just needs break in time. usually give it 2-4 weeks. if your tank is new and you have no load(not a lot of poop/crud) you will not get much if anything in the skimmer cup.
