Micro bubbles

[gareth.hubbarde]

Hi, my skimmer is running, has been going for a while now, seems to be skimming OK foam spilling into collecting cup. The only issue is the amount of tiny bubbles going into the tank. It's not a huge issue but is it a problem for my tank? It's a 80 gallon fowlr tank. The skimmer is a tmc v2 skim 500 it's a hang on skimmer as I don't have a sump.

Not sure how long your tank has been set up, but most skimmers take about 2 weeks to fully break in before the micro bubbles start to disappear.

That's the back of the tank, can't get to it, can't move half a tonne.

Surely you can wrap a towel on a stick or something..

Use any epoxy in the last few days?
Some create millions of bubbles for days...
