Protein Skimmer giving off microbubbles

[meemmoo]

My Aqua C Remora protein skimmer has been giving off microbubbles for at least a month now. I even tried to put a piece of sponge in it and it just stops skimming. Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

I have an aqua c hot on my 110 and never had the problem. Visit their website and see if they have any suggestions. I know it can take several days for the skimmer to break in. Are you using and water/slime coat conditioners?

there is this thing called a fiter box that you can buy. It says it helps the skimming efficiency and gets rid of micro bubbles
