3 WEEKS AGO I GOT A NEW SEDRA 5000 PUMP FOR MY EUROREEF SKIMMER ON MY 120. SCINCE I GOT THE PUMP IT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY DUMPING HUGE AMOUNTS OF MICROBUBBLES INTO MY DISPLAY. IVE TRIED ADJUSTING IT BUT I CANT GET THEM TO GO AWAY. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A NEW PUMP OR AM I JUST STUCK WITH TONS OF BUBBLES?

I had water in my sump before I added baffled. You can buy acrylic at home depot and weather stripping and add them after the fact. Google weather stripping baffles. That oughta solve your bubble problem.
