Arrow Aqua C EV180 Skimmer and Micro bubbles

I've had an Aqua C EV180 Skimmer and let me say that I am very very impressed with it. It is by far the best skimmer that I have ever seen.

Anyway, for some reason it just started putting a lot of micro bubbles into my sump causing my tank to look really bad. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on what could have caused this and how to prevent it?

Any feedback would be helpful at this point.

How old is the skimmer and how long has it been running on your tank uninterrupted?

Only about 2 months old and it has been running for about 4 weeks nonstop.

I ran a remora pro (spray induction) on a 125, and always had them. I see it so often. I think its inherent to the design. I never could get rid of them.....I also used the bubble trap with the mag upgrade. Still the bubbles.

Have you put any kind of medications in the tank?

I would make sure to have plenty of baffles between the skimmer output and the sump return pump... Mine is on the opposite side of my 55 gallon sump with 4 baffles in between. I don't have any issues with bubbles at all!
