micro bubbles. Can be caused by:

Skimmer - not adjusted to optimal configuration.

Wave makers & Power heads - too close to surface so it's sucking air into the water.

Return pipe - water return too forceful causing bubbles.

and others...

as vague as your info is, try this:

isolate each eqpt at a time and see what causes it.

ie, switch off skimmer and see if situation improves.

If not, then switch off return pump and leave skimmer on... etc.

use your creativity.

Most of the time, It is the skimmer that is causing the micro bubble problem..

cause likely to be your skimmer.

Cheap and proven solution , for me anyway, diy a spoonge at the outlet of your skimmer so it trickles down and should, in my case reduce the bubbles
