BIG THANKS to everyone who answered my last post regarding my skimmer
Basically im just presuming here, that the millions of tiny bubbles coming from the hose return to my main tank is because the skimmer is new and this will stop?
I have a bubble stop also.
Everyones tanks i see are crystal clear but with all these bubbles looks like things are floating around. Turn the skimmer off it clears to near perfect.
 
they should go away once your skimmer is broken in. Is this hanging on your tank or in a sump?

If in a sump, the bubble trap will aid greatly... if hob, you might never get rid of all of the bubbles.
 
lol ah right well hang on side same thing :) why is that like? I was gonna have a sump but pictured a flood in the living room so decided against it.
 
haha yah, i have flooded my kitchen before, but that was my own fault.

Sumps are great if you do it right, if you don't they can be a liability.

If you have a bubble diffuser on the outlet of your skimmer, once it breaks in, they should be minimized.
