Hi everyone.

I have read many of the forums and threads, reviewed the videos, and blogs and cannot seem to even slow the production of Microbubbles from my Simplicity 120DC skimmer. I have it elevated to 8 inches, factory specs indicate 7-9 is ideal. I have tuned it a couple of times to try and reduce this but to no avail. I’m at a loss for what might be causing these to spill out. Seems like they aren’t going up like they should.

attached a video.
Tank is a 90g cube. Seems to be producing foam pretty well, skimming properly

Looks like its producing correctly. Have you added anything to the system lately??
Negative - It has been doing this since day 1, despite retuning. I DID turn it around last night, thinking it might be a flow issue and it seemed to help minutely. I then stacked some bio-media and foam around the outlet and that cut back quite a bit.
