    I have a Coralife Super Skimmer 125. It is used as an HOB. It has alway's put Micro-Bubbles back into the DT. Is there anything I can do to this Skimmer to control the bubbles going into the tank. I am not running a sump and won't on this tank. When I get enuff saved to get a 125 then this will be the sump, until then I would at least like to enjoy it without the bad bubble problem. It has bubbles sticking to the algae on the back glass and rocks. Have any idea's what I can do about this problem?
    Thank you all.

    Add more air. you may end up with an air bubble at the top of the u-tube from the tank but thats ok. Open the air valve just a little bit at a time until the micro bubbles stop.
