    sounds like part of the problem is water height that the skimmer is in. not sure about micro bubbles with out seeing the setup.

    Try looking for "seaclone skimmer mod" in Google and you'll see a lot of people try to make this skimmer work better. It's a POS, but if you own it and want to try to get some of your money out of it, try modding it.

    Good luck.

    Hey SlickRick, I have the seaclone 100. Do the google search and mod it. One thing I do is keep it clean and adjust the air intake daily if need be. It also took like a month for slime to build up on it for it to work. And, when you do clean it just run under water, don,t clean with any soaps. Good luck!

    I like the the price of the octopus skimmers but the euroreef/reef dynamics are a more quality product. but i dont know whether either make a HOB.
