I've been fooling around for 2 days now trying to reduce the microbubbles that I have coming from my skimmer. It's a Coralife Super Skimmer 125, and the bubble diffuser that comes with it just isn't doing the job. This is a really large skimmer and I don't have room in the sump to try putting in more baffles or anything. The problem is definetly coming from the skimmer since when it's off I have no microbubbles in the main tank at all. I just got this thing and returning it is an option. Is anybody else using this model that could give me some suggestions?
My other question concerns what to replace it with if I do decide to send it back to liveaquaria. I was thinking of getting this one http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=AC120GM
Does anybody have experience with this one? It looks like you can direct the output from the AquaC anywhere that you want. Is that correct? If so, that would give me more options, like maybe running the output farther away from the return chamber to give the bubbles more time to dissipate. For that matter, does the AquaC even produce a lot of microbubbles? It's more money than I was looking to spend on the skimmer, but at this point I would go for it if it's more trouble free than the super skimmer. Any sugestions much appreciated.
