Hi there, over the past few days my 75 gallon tank has been getting lots of bubbles. They are coming from the Octopus Protein Skimmer.

I am not sure what the issue is as the exit of the skimmer is taking lots of bubbles and returning it back to the tank.

How can I fix this

Raise the skimmer, turn the outlet away from the return pump, control the air input, or turn the skimmer off... what size tank, sump, location, etc...?

75 gallon, the skimmer is in the refusium below the tank in the center compartment.

Once the skimmer is going the outtake takes some of the air bubbles no matter how much I turn it.

Then the micro bubbles make its way to the next chamber that has the return pump and that pushes it back to the tank

Check your air intake/venture to the pump. Make sure there is no salt clogging the input.
