I have had the skimmer in my 55g for about 3 weeks now. From day one it has put a ton of little bubbles in the tank. I put the lil sponge that came w/ it on the outlet, and that did nothing to stop the bubbles. I bought the preskimmer/bubble trap, and that did nothing. Tried covering the end of the outlet w/ a piece of pantyhose, and guess what? Still nothing. I have taken the powerhead apart to see if it was adjustable or something and it does not appear to be. I even replaced the muffler thing at the end of the air tube w/ and adjustable on to see if that would help, either it would put bubbles in the tank, or not enough to put anything in the collection cup. I bought the skimmer brand new so its not like it has an old powerhead or anything. Please someone help, I am about to throw this thing away. I cant even leave it running in the tank because of all the bubbles.
