I'm not quite sure I understand. I thought skimmers were supposed to skim a lot of gunk.

"Heres the Problem it is Throwing alot of micro bubbles"

That seems to be his problem. The bubbles come and go, the usually get worse anytime you clean it, adjust it, or put your hands in the tank. Have you tried the pre-skimmer box? It helps

Did you clean the injector tube? It's that small area on the top with a plastic screw in it. Also what size pump are you using?
Mine does it on a very rare ocassion but it's never so bad I have to worry about it and it always clears itself up after an hour or two. You may also want to clean out the skimmer box (at least a good thorough rinsing).
