Skimmer help

I have an RS 80. the water inside the tank has a lot of air bubbles. But the problem I have is the display has a green tinch ?? suspended algae

And the detritus trap of the skimmer gets filled with dirty water in 1 or maximum 2 days. When I clean the trap, I can see the bubbles in the lower half of the nipple. ??

Any help is appreciated.

Detritus trap of skimmer???? Do you mean the skimmer cup thats on the top? And I have no clue what you mean by "nipple". Please describe better or add pics.

For the green water... how long has the tank been set up? water parameters? any sponges or bio-media?

Its the skimmer cap I am talking about. and the nipple I thought that is what you say for the connecting tube between the cap and the body of the skimmer.

How can I post pictures ?
