    i got a remora aqua c skimmer with a maxi jet 1200. it has been running for almost 3 months. the skimmer is great, it collects a lot of nasty stuff quickly. but it has not stopped putting microbubbles out into my sump. i have dont so much work trying to stop the bubbles from getting to my return. even taking out my sump and rebuilding a new one with baffles. thiis did nothing. i put filter foam in the baffles....this isnt doing anything. my skimmer output is in a filter sock.....the bubbles go right through it. no media or baffles are stopping these tiny bubbles. is there a skimmer that i should use other than this remora that will actually break in and stop putting bubbles into my tank. my tank always looks like it has tons of debris in it from the bubbles.​

    If you aready tried the sponges and filter socks, then try regulating the air intake. I dont remember if you need to close it or open it, but try either. By opening or closing the air intake you'll be creating bigger bubbles rather than smaller ones.
