Micro bubble issues

[ReefCheif]

Just yesterday I took all the filtration components out of the back of my 29 biocube and plumbed in a 7 gallon fuge with Tunze skimmer, and my usuall 7 gallon water change. Tank looked a little cloudy last night, i chalked it up to the water change.

I just got home from work, tank is still cloudy and all my zoas and SPS are ****ed off!

So I look a little closer and wouldn't you know it, MICRO BUBBLES!! I do see them coming from the skimmer and into the fuge, but the water in the fuge is not cloudy.

ive checked perams, everything is spot on, fish are fine.

what do I do? I've never dealt with micro bubbles, always had bigger systems and just never had an issue. Should I take the skimmer offline? Is there someway to filter them out before they get to my return?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You could just unplug the skimmer, and see if thats it. Is there any way that your return pump is sucking air?

It was the skimmer. Made an adjustment on the height, added a piece of blue filter pad before and after the skimmer and switched the return part of my pump opposite where the water overflows into the return chamber, seems to be clearing up already.

Micro bubbles shouldn't be hurting your corals. They just don't look good.

Corals no. Fish is another story. Its still debatable what causes gas bubble disease in fish, but they have found a strong correlation between large amounts of microbubbles and the disease.
