    Remora Pro Hang On Skimmer Question

    We have a 46 gallon saltwater tank and have had pretty good success balancing the water. We use an Enheim Pro II Filter and have introduced three fish (Blue tang, Dot-Dash Butterfly and a Mertensii Butterfly)over the past 2 months. At the recommendation of many, I installed a Remora Pro Hang-on Skimmer this afternoon. We noticed right away that a great many micro-bubbles were going back into my tank (user manual indicated this could happen for up to 2 weeks). After about 10 minutes, my Mertensii Butterfly started swimming around in a panic (almost like she could not breath). For the moment, I have shut down the skimmer in hopes to get some guidance from this group. Any thoughts?

    The skimmer will not hurt your fish. If it looks like they can't breathe, check your ammonia/nitrite/nitrate and your kH. Those fish need a lot of live rock to survive, & if they cannot hide they will get stressed.
