Your skimmer may be sencitive to the change in water. When u do the change un plug the skimmer. As of now take it out and wash the hole thing.

not in my tank--when water is mixing in bucket

see if the intake of the maxi jet has a crack, water being pulled in at a high rate with a crack body will cause this, also check the impeller for any signs of wear or damadge.

their you go, I wouldn't worry too much about the micro bubbles as long as you let the water settle for about 30 minutes before adding
