Best Mean To Eliminate Tiny Bubbles From Skimmer

[meitzler]

I have an ASM G-4X that is sending some tiny bubbles out the exhaust. Does anyone have a good solution on how to get rid of them. Otherwise the skimmer is great.

Are you using the foam piece on the riser tube? Have you looked onto the gate-Valve mod for it? Not that it resolves the bubble but it will allow you to place a filter sock on it and that will help with micro bubbles. The gate-valve mod directs the water back down in the sump. Perfect for a filter sock.

Here's a link to show the mod. You can buy a kit from them or piece it together yourself.

meitzler - how long have you had the skimmer up and running? I only notice bubbles coming out of my Euro-reef when I need to clean out the air intake.

Skimmer is running about 6 months. Yes on the foam piece. Who has a good price on filter socks? I'll try that. Otherwise works just fine
