I've noticed that my protein skimmer is producing bubbles that go from the sump, and up through the pipes and into the tank. Is this normal? And how do I get rid of the bubbles in the tank?
 
How is your sump set up? Usually a bubble trap before the return pump section does the trick...
 
Mine was doing the same and since I do not have my sump or refugium set up with a bubble trap, I added a couple of PVC elbows to make the bubbles shoot straight up when exiting. I would have used one, but did not have the correct size . I will eventually make it look better. This was a quick fix that I've just never gone back to. :)
