    I have a Coralife 125 Super Skimmer and I am tired of the micro bubbles flooding the D.T. Is there an H.O.B. Skimmer for a 55 gallon aquarium that will not flood the D.T. with Macro Bubbles?
    Or does someone have any idea how to regulate the macro bubbles from the return on this Coralife 125 Super Skimmer?
    And sometimes it just run's fresh into the cup not skimmate.
