You need to add another baffle in your sump. It should be after where the effluent exits the skimmer.

i think the output is going inside the main tank

Ya... I using it as a hang on... Not in sump...

So once it break in there would be any bubbles escaping into the tank liao... ???

The outlet sponge attachment will greatly help to get rid of the micro bubbles.

trim the sponge.u can easily saw it away to halve its current height and it still works.

I doubt it will work. If it really works then why would they include such huge sponge?!.. its definitely for a reason.

I think Max is right, your skimmer is running in, may take a few days for the bubbles to go away. Check out the instructions, it may have mentioned that.

if u worry about ur coral or fish too stress becos of bubbles u can tie a sponge outside ( before the water goes to the tank) to filter out the bubbles for a few day till ur skimmer break in

[Maxmike]

actually i 'm also worried a couple of days ago i keep posting to most reef site and ppl all told me to wait .believe me in a few days it will be gone (only a small amount of bubble will be seen )

Dun Worry B HAPPY
