I bought a Coralife Super Skimmer - 65 Gallon for my 58 gallon, about 1 week ago and I know they have a break in period but I still seem to have a problem with it adding tons of micro bubbles to my aquarium. It is located in the main chamber of my wet/dry filter. Any ideas on how to correct this unfortunate event?
 
When I had a Coralife I had a very similar problem. If you have connected the diffuser correctly then the bubbles shouldn't be there....meaning that the diffuser needs to be in close contact with the output of water back into the tank. Also...there are two sponge pieces. 1 which is a grey block with a whole in the center and the second which is a flat piece that goes on the bottom. I think in the end I replaced the one on the bottom with part of a foam block I got at my LFS. I hope this helps and you stop seeing the microbubbles soon. Once they get dialed in they are good skimmers. If you can post a pic that might help too. Good luck.
 
Thank you very much for the info, I will try and update as I go.
