the bubbles did go away, i just let the skimmer break in but, after a water change the bubbles came back. quick fix, i added more filtor floss to it.
no issues now.

I have a new problem though, I now have diatom algae.
it's been 3 weeks now and fighting with two 15gal water changes.
i was using phosban, but i don't think it's working. so i stopped using it.
I am seriously thinking of changing substrate.
i have 1 20lb caribsea aragalive sand
and one 20lb bag of aragonite i believe. (live)
