help with a octopus 150

[beau758]

anyone with info about an octopus 150. mine is creating so many micro bubbles outside of the skimmer that my tank is full of them. the bubbles are comming out of the water level tube into the sump and so on.:mad2:

How long have you had it set up, and have you done any mods to it?

dugg had a VERY important question....how long has it been running? It may take 2 weeks or so for them all to settle if the skimmer is new....you can reduce it by washi ng all the parts inside and out with vinegar water (50/50). This will help remove the oils that exist on the surfaces of the acrylic that is used to make the skimmer....the normal "break-in" time on a skimmer is the time it takes these oils to dissolve off....
