I have a 125 gallon tank and mirco bubbles are comming out of the return pipe from the sump. Is it my skimmer that is doing this? The skimmer is a seaclone 100and it sits in the sump. There are 3 baffles after the skimmer before the return pump, 2 lower and 1 higher. I hope you can help.

Thanks
Chris

you want to putting the seaclone at the opposite end of the sump to the 3 baffle bubble trap..This gives the most ammount of time for bubbles to thin out, and some even dissapate before they reach the bubble trap...

that is how i have mine setup and i dont get any bubbles coming through my return..

Hope that helps a little

Niko, that worked great (putting the skimmer on the other side of the sump)

There is a few little bubbles but that will slow down I hope.

Thank you again!
