Micro bubbles are the bane of my existence!

[Luke.Fraizer]

I recently got a 60 cube changing from my 75 and I had to change up my sump. I also got rid of all my powerheads and changed to a 4 head return pump which looks way slicker! I have a Aquion ?sp? return pump that pumps 2200gph at head height which I love and has tons of flow in the tank. However I have 2 socks on my down and on my protein skimmer with a half bubble trap before the pump and I can not get rid of the microbubbles to save my life! Does anyone have any good ideas?

Is the return splashing or the skimmer the problem?

Hey Luke long time no see Use filter floss between the chambers of your return pump and skimmer. it will help some

Also add a ball valve on your return line and slow your flow a bit.
