Dymax xp30 skimmer micro bubble problem


Recommended Posts

Hi all..:)

Again another problem... Lol pls forgive me....:P

Im using dymax xp30 protein skimmer for a couple of days while cycling my tank now. Problem is, there are alot of bubbles releasing from the top vents just beside the air intake knob Water level is below air intake knob as instructed by the manual given. Knob is almost closed, no noise also.

Tried putting skimmer above and below what's instructed, tried closing and opening the air intake in gradual amounts also doesnt help. Is it because my skimmer is breaking in and its normal? Videos of people using this show nothing of such problems. How do i rectify or can i just ignore it if it doesnt affect anything?

Anyone using this product before and others who solved similar problems pls advice. Thanks all in advance.:)

I had the same problem for my bouyu protein skimmer. The micro bubbles will last for about 2-3 days only. Its known as the break in period. SHould be fine after a few days.

is this a needlewheel?

can comment on it's performance? :ThanxSmiley:

Nahh not that high class... Lol it uses a normal powerhead with venturi system.:) took some time to break in but now its pretty good, though its not a dry skim. :) no regrets for now. Worth the price in my opinion but of course not to be compared with higher end stuff.:)

I have a LS20 and bought a bubble reducer sock.

Why are bubbles bad for fish?

Its not good for the corals and clams from what i read.... It agitates them and stress=bad health
