Often a new skimmer will send more bubbles into the tank until it's broken
in, but I'd be making some adjustments now to stop the bubbles from going
into the tank.

Well it seems to only way to do that is to reduce the air to almost nothing,
then what happens is the cup overflows with just sal****er.

Well here is something I noticed this morning. Quite a few
bristleworms, can't tell if they are dead or not, floating at the top
towards the back of the tank. I heard that a skimmer removes the
proteins that some of the clean up crew need. If this is the case,
could I be killing my clean up crew with the skimmer?
Bristle worms eat things much more substantial than the crud a skimmer
removes. Something else is killing your worms.

Actually I looked and they are alive. I think someone else hit the nail
on the head. The bubbles are sticking to them and lifting them to the
top of the tank.

So I guess the question is, will the bubbles in the tank start to go away
once the skimmer is broken in and it starts foaming?
