Good evening, 150 gallon salt water fish only. My tank would be crystal clear if it was not for microbubbles. I shut the skimmer off to see if this was the culprit, but still have some micro bubbles gathering in almost a whirlpool on top of tank, then my return pushes them into the rest of the...

I have been trying to get the most fish possible in my tank. I am running a skimmer for twice the tank size and I am considering the micro bubble method. I have seen it being effective for people but I don't know too much about it? What's your guy's input on it?

Am a bit confused as to why there are quite a few micro bubbles on my tank wall. Mind you that it's a brand new tank with sump and currently got salted RODI water. That's it, nothing else. What might cause these micro bubbles? What is the most common reason why they exist? They are quite...

Hi all, So I am still learning about Saltwater tanks (Learning a lot per minute here), and my tank has been running for about 3~4 months. I did a water change last week, and I am about to do another one tomorrow, but for a few days, I have noticed a "dust" in the water, mostly at the top that...

Hello TRT, I am in need of some assistance. I have a 120 gallon tank with dual overflow boxes. I recently started putting out micro bubbles from one of the returns. Changed all the plumbing and hoses last night and I have micro bubbles coming from both returns and it is clouding my tank. Not...

So I moved to a new house and I figured that would be a good time to reinvent my 120 gallon (4'x2'x2') reef tank for the better. I first started by getting a coast to coast overflow put in, so I can do the Bean Animal style drain system. I did 1" plumbing for all the drains and returns. I...

Hello all, I am having issues getting these micro bubbles out of my tank!!:angry: i have a 37 gallon with a 10 gallon sump with 3 baffels. my overflow goes into a 200 micro filter sock and so does the skimmers output. I also have a bubble trap with 3 to 4 inch thick foam. Still, micro bubbles...

Hello everyone, I think my mag 12 return might be cavitating. I have lots of micro bubbles in the display. When I hold my ear to the sump where the 12 is located I can hear it cavitating I think. Sounds like a burst of bubbles every few seconds. Sump is located approximately 7 feet below...

Hey, I'm a total noob to the whole saltwater scene, working on setting up my first tank. It's a nonstandard 150 gallon display, and I'm using a 40 gal breeder for the sump, and adding acrylic dividers to do all the good sump stuff. So the current plan for the sump is to do the relatively...

I've done some researching and couldn't find a clear answer to this. I have the eshopps overflow and I just made a hofer gurgle buster and man what a difference it's made as far as gurgling and water swoosh, BUT I'm still getting a ton of micro bubbles in the intake housing of the sump. From...

I'm experiencing some micro bubbles from my overflow. I have the water dumping into a 4" cpr filter sock but i"m still getting bubbles. Any suggestions?

I just got my Tunze 9002 nano protein skimmer and got it in the tank. So far I'm working on getting the bubbles to the right spot for skimming with some fine tuning on the air valve. However, it is making tons of micro bubble out of the bottom of it. At first it was so many looked like green...
