I've got TONS of micro bubbles all over my live rock/walls and can't seem to figure out where it is coming from. Here's the setup: 120g dual overflows 55g sump. Red Sea Berlin XL protien skimmer powered by a Mag5 Korallin Ca2 Reactor powered by maxi-jet and Eheim pump Mag 9.5 for sump to main tank return (T'd off to the dual returns of the main tank) Mag12 to power a 1"Sea swirl - all located in main tank. Mag12 to power a Chiller Eheim Ecco 2236 filter (coarse filter, carbon, 3 fine filters) That's all the mechanical parts that I got in this guy. Anyone have any idea of what my problem may be? Thanks in advance, Nate |

prob the return area of your sump. the water flowing down is creating bubbles. or there are bubbles from your skimmer to the return part of the sump, or just the down flow of water from the over flow. I had the same problem a few days ago. Fixed it by putting a foam block two inches above my return outlet. Worked like a charm Aquatice creations in brooklyn sells the big long ones you can use. if its not the sump, then it maybe the return outlet not attached properly. i also had this problem where it sprayed a very high perssue mini stream that created lots of bubbles |
