Protein skimmer making tons of bubbles

Hi there. Welcome to AC.
That can be normal when it goes through the cycle. I know some would recommend to rinse it thoroughly with warm water before using it, to help break it in. I personally dislike the bubbles. I know some of the skimmers have a mod you can do to decrease the amount of bubbles going into the tank. I did it with both of mine but I have Coralife skimmers. Maybe someone familiar with your brand will chime in here. I would wait it out before trying anything though. Sometimes they just go away in a few days or weeks after it's broken in.
