Anyone had issues with microbubbles coming from their return? I have a crap load of them and I'm thinking its from the piping or external pump, definitely not from the skimmer. The only way i was able to stop it were to close up the return pipe 80%. Any tip on fixing it?

If you just set it up then wait a few months and everything will get all slimmed up and the bubbles will disappear.

Also make sure your impeller is not jacked up, that can cause micro bubbles as well.

Impeller, but will let it run for a couple month and see what happens, thanks for the advice.


you probably have a leak between your pump and sump.
um...dont see any leaks.


Here some pic of the setup...
