Anyone use the Jebo PS75 skimmer???
Cause I got one and I'm having problems.....
50gal tank, 10gal sump, jebo ps75 skimmer
I've had this skimmer running about 2 weeks now and for 2 weeks straight now its sending micro-bubbles in my tank
The skimmer is about 1' tall and has a needlewheel pump that does 396gph. Whats happening is that the entire skimmer is filled with the micro-bubbles, so the return tube (that goes all the way to bottom) is sucking up all those micro bubbles. There is no "non-micro-bubble" water at the bottom. The pump has an attachment on it to add air lines. I only have 1 air line hooked up to pump. And I have plenty of mechanical filtration, but the bubbles go right through this.
Please see pics below!! Please help!!
This is the only thing holding me up from adding livestock. Please let me know of your suggestions and/or advice.
It's my friends website... for some reason it only works with IE (sorry no Firefox)
