I have a reef octopus 1000 protein skimmer and I turned it off in order to do a water change and now it's making a lot more microbubbles than before. I've had this since March. I tried tuning it up and down, but the microbubbles are still there.

This photo isn't my protein skimmer, it is a photo of how the skimmer is suppose to look like. Basically with my protein skimmer, the intake chamber is doing what it's suppose to do, but the "out" chamber is the problem. With my "out" chamber, there are microbubbles in the "out" chamber which, if you look at this picture of how it's suppose to function : there are no microbubbles in the "out" chamber.

Anyone know any fix to this? Thanks for any advice.
