I purchased one last night and was wondering if anyone has one or has seen one in action. Everything is going ok so far cept for the tons of micro-bubbles i'm getting in the tank. I'm running about 6' of air hose from the flexible exhaust tubing. The problem is when I put the other end of the air hose into the silencer the chamber inside the skimmer goes dead and all the bubbles die out. If I just cap the end of the hose then I get bubbles in the chamber but they pour over and get kicked into the main tank. I know I still have a 24-48 hr breaking in period also.

Can anyone shed any ideas or help?

Thanks.

How deep is the pump in the tank? If the pump is too low, this can/will cause little to no bubble production.
