Controlling skimmer micro bubbles

My NYOS 160 skimmer has been running for about 2 weeks now. I’ve been tuning it but can’t get rid of all the micro bubbles in the skimmer section which make it to the return section through the foam and then into the tank.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Sometimes they can take a while to break in and stop producing bubbles like that....do you not have a sufficient bubble trap baffle setup

Yes, it’s on a Red Sea 750. The baffles and foam but as much as the skimmer is producing they still get by.

I have a Red Sea 625 and have been running a nyos 160 for a few days now. I don't have any bubbles getting through the baffle. I'm guessing your water level is too high.
