Micro Bubbles

[MIO]

Okay I set-up a new tank and was wondering how long does it take for the bubbles to go away. It's a 40 gallon with a over-flow and a sump with 45 lbs of lr and 50 lbs of ls. I have set up a couple of other tanks but it was like 3 yrs ago. I was just wondering if it was normal? Thanks in advance for all the help.

it is normal ..
yes
where are the bubbles?
are they floating in the water or on the glass?
the glass thing, ya need to just wipe it down.. should fix that..
the in the water column.. check all connection make sure no air is being pulled in, but newer piping will always have some air trapped, and shoudl stop soon, If your runing your skimmer now, look at the out flow and see if it is from that.. you may need to adjust the the skimmer.
Got a pic?
Just remember to take your time as you do things and you will remmeber all the things you did a few years ago.

Do you have anything to keep the microbubbles from the skimmer from being sucked up in your return pump to the tank?
