Daveluce Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 How long did it take you guys for the god damned micro bubbles to go away? I've been running mine for over a month, and I still get a ton of bubbles. I emailed cad, and of course I didn't get a response. Link to comment

SonRK Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 How long did it take you guys for the god damned micro bubbles to go away? I've been running mine for over a month, and I still get a ton of bubbles. I emailed cad, and of course I didn't get a response. I still have microbubbles, and been talking to people at CAD via email but they can't solve it. It's been like close to 2 months by now. I'm going to see if I can still return it via Amazon and get the elite or just keep up with my water changes instead since this was ridiculous. Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I ended up gluing the seal around the bottom to prevent excess water from leaking out where it shouldn't be/causing more microbubbles, it's fine now but the skimmer bubble line keeps breaking and i'm not exactly sure how well this thing actually skims Link to comment
stevethao Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've had mine up for over 2 months and I'm still getting microbubbles in my display. It pulls good skimmate, but I'm sick of seeing all those dang microbubbles. Gonna wait on reviews for the elite and the 9001 to decide what I'm going to replace this thing with. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Man, you guys must really think this thing is rocket science, and the guy using glue on his? Wowwwww.... Interesting method... Link to comment
Horerczy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Man, you guys must really think this thing is rocket science, and the guy using glue on his? Wowwwww.... Interesting method... Rocket science is easier really. The computers used for space shuttles are quite simple compared to the computers most of us are using to talk to each other through the digital collective.

WickedReef Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Getting my Elite tomorrow ........Hopefully less finicky than my PLS-50 . Link to comment
WickedReef Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Breaking in..... Absolutely no micro bubbles, large wide neck, will make it allot easier to clean then the PLS-50. The sound in the video is not the skimmer. Its dead quiet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=natls0m1LBw Link to comment
TOURING Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Nice!!! Can't wait to get mine. It will be going on a jbj 20 frag. I was going to get the old design but I might as well get this. Link to comment
WickedReef Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm also noticing with the new elite design, after setting your adjustment it stays set. Not like the previous one, you tap it and it screws up, It was very touchy imo. Liking this new design for sure, just waiting for it to break in. Link to comment
theishkid Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm testing mine in the sink right now since I don't have a tank up yet... haha! Link to comment
WickedReef Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Day 5 started skimming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RKtxfAevA0&list=UUYOjqDKD_KQkKF8Xc47DL7Q Link to comment
basser1 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Anyone know if this will fit in the middle chamber of an Oceanic (original), 29 gallon Biocube? Link to comment

Mstefa1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 my tank is so clean it dosent even skim...... I don't believe that. Should be at least able to get a light tea. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't believe that. Should be at least able to get a light tea. I agree, but I do believe it. Something should be coming out, even if it's a bit wet. Needs adjustment, IMO. At the very least it will be pulling some phytoplankton out if the lights are on. Link to comment
cityreefer Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Anyone try the Elite on a Nuvo 16 yet? Link to comment
TOURING Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't believe that. Should be at least able to get a light tea. i wish that was the case...... but its that clean. Link to comment
hwk7072 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just hooked up the PLS-50 in my sump and I'm getting a tank full of microbubbles. Now I'm worried seeing some of the replies above that after a couple months they're still seeing microbubbles. Cadlights highlights in their marketing that these "virtually eliminate microbubbles." What's the consensus? Do they go away? Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 My PLS-50 never stopped fully producing micro bubbles and I replaced it after 4 months. Link to comment

CronicReefer Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Red Sea Berlin Airlift. Most people do not like it because it requires an air pump but it works better than my expectations for such a simple design. Link to comment
