I cant stand the bebbles getting back to my tank

I ahve a seaclonj 100 that always seems to put microbubbles in the water. What can I do about this? I am goin to try to clean it but it was doing it from the start. I also have a back pac skimmer that i had on it to start but it never got foam to the cup so I went to a SC, I am going to try to upgrade the pump and put in a air stone in the back pack and see if that helps I amalos going to isolate it to help with the vibrations any help? any ideas with either?

On the Seaclone bubbles- you can try putting a sponge in front of the output. Petsmart sells AquaClear filter sponges that work well for this.

On the bakpak- Those are pretty good skimmers if you can avoid going insane trying to get it dialed in. The secret is.... patience. Set it, come back in a few hours and see how it does, adjust, wait a few hours, etc...

On both of them- sell 'em both and get yourself an Aqua-C Remora. You'll never look back, and that skimmer is truly plug and play!

We had the same problem with ours when we first started out and decided to put it under our tank and attach it to the side of our sump. That took care of the problem for us. You could also try a sponge like Travis mentioned above.

travis the only problem with that is my wallet says nonononono. I have been collecting things for my conversion of the larger tank so I can not drop 200 on another skimmer (for now at least)
