Bubble Catcher Overflowing

[alexktz]

Hi all,

Title says it all for me really. I have a v2 800 protein skimmer and the bubble catcher is letting through a tiny amount of small bubbles (out the bottom) and overflowing out the top.

Is this normal? If so, tell me to stop worrying, if not please let me know what I can try to do to resolve this.

If it's not really a problem, just tell me to be quiet!

In all fairness the bubble catcher doesnt always remove 100% of the bubbles try cleaning or replacing the poly wool and sponge to increase flow through them and not over them.

i've stuck some spare filter wool from an old cannister in the bottom, and that has done the trick. There are still one or two fine bubbles getting through, but it's invisible from more than a few inches now.

Thanks
