ASM g-2 issue

[Off The Deep End]

Holy micro bubbles! I have had this skimmer on two different tanks now without an issue, in my new tank now it is pouring millions of micro bubbles from the output pipe. I have tried adjusting the skimmer height and still no change. Any ideas?

Is the sump water height the same?

Meaning it doesn't fluctuate? yes it is the same.

How deep were you running it before? Now? Mods? did you vinegar it between systems? Outlet Sponge?

I put a sponge in the last baffle on my sump no micro bubbles in my display from my g1

I ran it at 6" in one tank and 12" in the other and it ran flawless in both. 6"7"8"10"12" changing it slowly. No mods. Outlet sponge-yes and it wouldnt stand a chance against the bubbles comming out of this thing. Do i need to give it a vinegar bath when i pulled it directly from one sump to the other? Thanks

How deep is it now? Mine puts out a lot of bubbles, but the water is too deep to get to the return.

No you don't need to clean it, but sometimes a cleaned skimmer acts like it is breaking in.

My SWC did the same thing for a couple days and then settle down. Toughtest part was that it took me leaving it alone and letting it sit to get it to stop...
