ps bubble problem

vbaykut · 12/25/2006, 08:39 AM

I just setup the ps (macro 1100). Attached on main tank. But it makes too much bubble in the tank and collects nothing...

What should I do??

New skimmers often throw out a lot of bubbles. I'd give it at least a few days to settle down.

Most acrylic products are coated in a light oil substance which is why the break in period is necessary.
To speed up the process, simply soak the skimmer in white vinegar for a few hours and rinse in fresh water before placing back on the tank.
