Bubbles

StOnErSpS · 09-01-2006, 07:36 PM

I just set up my 40 breeder, and i have a 20 gallon sump, with a smaller skimmer, and a container w/the bottom cut out with egg crate on there, to stop the return making such a loud noice.

But i am getting alot of tiny bubbles being pumps back into my tank for the mag 7.

What can i do to get this to stop..

Thanx]

Filter socks will stop micro bubbles

I have a question on my durso to.

Is it suppose to go up and down about an inch every time the overflow is being pushed down.

thanx

Thanx again guys,

remember to clean the filter sock regularly or it will clog. it will also allow phosphates to leach back into the water column from the decomposing trapped detritus.

even of you change them every 2 days and wash them in the washer?

Thanx guys.

I moved where the water from the tank hits the sump, and there is no more bubbles, just waiting for my sand storm to settle, add a lil more LR and then wait, little more LR and then start acclimating fish/corals to t from the 20 long
