I have used 3 different skimmers for my 50 gallon and the micro bubble issue is annoying. Currently using a Aquamaxx Hob-1 and have used it for 3 months and it's still pumping out microbubbles. I put filter socks on the outlet as well as sponges from the hagen prefilter sponge but that made the skimmer back up and leak on the floor. I'm on the third floor in my apartment, so I'm sumpless. So I'm forced to use a canister filter with a surface skimmer, stuffed with Chemipur and RowaPhos and it's cleaned every week. In a aquarium this small, would water changes every week be enough or is a skimmer a must in only a 50 gallon.
