need help Berlin Skimmer microbubbles

[eahkmh]

I cant stop the microbubbles from entering my tank from the skimmer. I tried to adjust the air flow as recommended in the instuctions but the tank still has them. Is there a way to stop them and still have the skimmer turned up? Thanks. Oh, i just set up my first tank today.

alot of times it depends on your pump level. i know with my css 65 that was the problem you dont want your pump below 3 inches of the water. wait what kind of berlin is this??? there are so many.

Its a berlin classic i think, bought it used and it doesnt say on it. It just says berlin hang on, 5 to 250 gal. skimmer. It seems to be working fine, no foam yet but i just hooked it up today. I unhooked it at the guys house and transferred it to my house, hooked it up and all was great except those bubbles. The return pump has about 2 inches of water above the whole pump. If i shut the air off to the skimmer the water still flows but all bubbles are gone, but that does no good for skimming
