    Protein skimmer bubbles not reaching the top

    I’m pretty new to protein skimmers because I have a nano tank and haven’t had the need for one in the past, so I’m confused on some things. I got the eshopps nano skimmer and was told to not let the bubbles overflow, so I set the water level low. But aren’t the bubbles at least supposed to reach...

    Micro bubble fix for Aquamaxx HOB 1.5?

    I'm putting this out there to see if I'm doing something wrong or missing something here causing the micro bubbles on this Aquamaxx HOB 1.5. Running on a JBJ 45 AIO going on 3 weeks, due to the water level needed to add some 1/2 and 3/4 PVC pipe to extend this to the water, believe could be...

    Aquavitro Division 125 help

    I’m running an Aquavitro Division 125 and am having some trouble tuning it. It’s primarily due to the unique design in contrast to other skimmers which I’ve used in the past. I’ve leveled the water level with the neck with the air open so it won’t flow over. I’ve made a ton of adjustments to...

    Bubble magus z6 continuously overflowing after a water change!

    My wife bought me this skimmer for our 60 gallon cube. It took forever to work correctly. After every water change we do, it overflows for days. Sometimes 1 day all the way to a week. I’m so frustrated with this thing. It is in the correct water level. Can I get some pointers?
