the pump to my protein skimmer went out and i just got a new one and put it on and now its causing micro bubbles. the old pump was a rio 600 the new one is a rio 800. i dont know if it is just shooting out more water or what but even with my big sponge under the bio balls its not stopping all the bubbles. i have it positioned to flow back into the bioballs, nothing is helping. what can i do?

what skimmer do you have? Looks like the flow thru the skimmer is to high. Slow it down by increasing the air and/or regulating the flow from pump.
