graky Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi, I recently added IM Ghost Skimmer (Desktop) to my Nuvo 10 and left it power on.. it has been overflowing and creating micro bubbles for 24 hours already. Should I be concerned? Or this is expected? Thanks in advance! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think I read somewhere that micro bubbles are not a good thing for marine tanks. Theses bubbles will get lodge in the corals and their flesh will receede.

graky Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Realised that it could be because my water level too high.. when I lower the water level, the foaming seems smootherSent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soops746 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 New skimmer is like that, I am using the bubbles magus C7 when I first use it, it produces a lot of mirco bubbles and overflow. After about 2 weeks it become normal. Use something to cover your air intake will stop the overflow.

SRC Member ltchong Posted February 10, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yup new skimmer will react in this manner. Sometimes when you dose certain supplements the skimmer will also go crazy.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Pham Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If its new buy, its take at least a week to break it. And will become normal. But if after so long still like that. I guess its faulty product. And my one is the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
