I have a 20 gallon reef. I set up the skimmer on Monday. At first it produced an inordinate amount of bubbles so i turned the flow down so much that its almost closed. I allowed it to run for a couple days with more of a flow and it didn't produce any foam at all. I do use a penguin mini(100gph), but i was under the assumption the skimmer would produce some foam in the first couple days and then stop as the tank was "cleaned".
Maybe my tank is just that clean? I feed daily, dose weekly, have loads of life and corals, and use RO with proper buffers....
My main issue is with all the micro bubbles its producing. If i initialize the skimmer just below the oring in the neck(as the instructions say) then there are WAY to many bubbles. If i turn it down the water level is 3 or 4 inches below the oring.... Any input would be appreciated.
