    tunze 9010 micro bubbles..

    Just a FYI make sure the bottom plate is on flush and secure, sometime the suction cup feet can slide the plate left or right. Also too, maybe play with the little door at the bottom to control the amount of water flowing through the skimmer, this maybe the cause of the micro bubbles. I'm...
