I failed Kobayashi Maru
I am just testing out my protein skimmer (Berlin Red Sea), which I got used and cleaned up really well. I am using a Rio 2500 (brand new). Just a question. I'm currently just testing it in a sump we're building (just a 20 gallon tank), and using just tap water to test it.
Question is that the 2 exit valves (fitted with pvc and the piping is 1 inch into the water) on the top are spitting out microbubbles. I saw a posting someone did a while back about the same problem...I just want to make sure before I use this on my tank that the micro bubbles are from the skimmer being in just regular tap water. I see the bubbles swirling, I don't think there are leaks. In real use, would the microbubbles subside eventually in a tank?
