  1. 2'x1.5'x1.5'H (with ios space of 2ftx6inch at the back) so display tank is 2'x1'x1.5'H Skimmer in 2nd compartment. Return pump ehiem1250 in 3rd. Millions of Microbubbles were returned to the display tank once I turn on the skimmer. Tried all ways possible with my limited mind. 1. Stuffed a small piece of filter floss at the outlet pipe of the skimmer. Result: skimmer overflowed. Scrapped the plan immediately. 2. Rotated the skimmer so that the outlet is further to the return pump compartment. (this is illogical flow as the skimmer inlet takes in the skimmed clean water again). Rotated the return pump so it sucks water from the furthest side from the skimmer outlet. 3. Stuffed a piece of filter floss in between the baffle between the skimmer and return pump. 4. Wrapped a 200micron filter sock (albeit loosely) around the skimmer outlet. 5. Finally stuffed a piece of the filter sock in the baffles together with the filter floss. The micro bubbles are still there!!! I'm at my wits end already. Now I totally left the skimmer off. Just kinda gave up. The only thing I haven't tried is to sew a piece of filter sock and tie it securely at the skimmer outlet, hoping it will absorb the bubbles. But I'm quite pessimistic on this.. Note. Skimmer atman pumps at 1,350L/hr. Return Ehiem1250 pumps at 1,200L/hr. Does this have any effect? Note 2. I'm building an upflow algae scrubber at the first compartment of the ios. Now I'm banking my hopes on the effectiveness of this uas, which will render the skimmer redundant. If it fails, I'll be back at square one. Again. **Tearing hair out** So if my uas backup plan fails, reefers pls contribute practical ideas on what else I can do. Thanks!!
