At first, I cleaned the body like every other month, now it's more of a every 6 month job, the initial break in seems to really cut down the microbubbles. I clean the collection cup bi-daily.

I ran mine in sump with a mag drive 5. I cleaned the cup out once every 2 days. And I agree the the micro bubbles will slowley go away. The return on my remora where the water flows back into the tank is covered in algae. Odd that i have algae there but no where else. THat seems to catch the micro bubbles that are caused by the skimmer which helps as well. Maybe yours is to clean :-) Hence not fully broken in yet
