Most skimmers need a break in period before they actually stop spitting the micr bubbles. Also try adjusting the air intake. HTH

theres no way to adjust if.. unless i dont kno.. its just the tube... nothing at the top to adjust it...... i can try moving the RISER pipe up.. cause its all the way down.. cause it said to keep it down for like 1 hour before moving it to ur desired level ho wu want the junk to look in the cup.. but i dunno.. im new and im lost.. tank is working and lookin GREAT.... and i dont want this not to be fixed.....
