I no longer have salt but did yrs ago when in High school had a CPR backpack and with the bio bale not a drop went back in the tank loved it.
Have heard the Remora is a power house of a skimmer .
Right Thats what I use now!!!Louie;2285871; said:
You might have a water issue also!
If you've got the best skimmer in the world you could still have small bubbles if there is something in the water to cause "tension" that will cause movement to stir up bubbles?
i.e. I put Malafix in my tank to help regenerate fin issues and when I hooked up my skimmer when all done with the meds, my micro bubbles where out of control!!!
they went away after two or three days!!!

increased salinity
recently working in the tank
water changes
touching, moving, or adding new corals
fish like parrotfish, soapfish, or boxfish releasing chemicals into the water
can all effect if or how much bubbles blow out into the tank
