to anyone that has a euro reef skimmer.......how har is your return from the skimmer to your water line in sump?....i had it working great this last month..my overflow from skimmer is about a hair line under the water.. is that why mybe this is happening?i usualy have it about a 1/2 inch from water line...its just doing top offs.. it sometimes is under the water a lil or when water evaporates its about 2 inches from water line ...whats the best distance from the water line so i dont get millions of bubbles in my disply tank


thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!!

I have the RS 80 and mine is just under the water line. I have a couple of baffles that separates it from the return pump, but I too have some micro-bubbles. It's not as bad as your situation, by the sounds of it. I would be interested in hearing what other have to say about it.

I run the discharge from my skimmer into a filter sock that is in my sump. It eliminates all of the bubbles from the skimmer. I don't know if it would work in your situation, but it may be something to think about.

I was playing around last night and found that by pointing the return of the skimmer away from the first baffle system helps eliminate quite a few bubbles by the time they hit the return pump.

i got it working ok now, i figured out if my level of water in my sump is to high or to low it causes lots of bubbles..hmmm...i dont have any baffles in my sump..so mybe that sock idea sounds good?..how often do you change the sock?whats it made of?.. i have berlin bags.. but i think there to big for this idea

Thats what the baffles are for.
