Why is my solana so loud? The skimmer still has not adjusted properly. The water never stays level in my back chambers. And I'm getting lots of micro bubbles in my tank, anybody have the same problem? How do you fix this?

When I get back, I will come over and check out for you. My skimmer (stock) works great. Do you have the sponge in overflow box, that really reduces noise, but you have to wash regularly.

Also, if you do not have an ATO (automatic top-off) keeping water level will be tough. The micro bubbles may be from skimmer (takes a couple of days to stop) or your water level may be below the return line from back into tank.

Sounds good, on the 9th right? We can work on the acrylic too. Its just weird, I have had it up for almost 2 weeks, took the water out like 3 days ago and put more water in it might just be re adjusting. Not sure. My water levels always change in the back. The top off chamber where the return pump is gets low after a few hours of filling it up, and the 2nd chamber where I have my fuge set up and the filter pad, the water there seems to be a bit high. And the water from the skimmer release is all micro bubbles. And back into my tank. Ugh!
