microbubbles

My bubble magus mini q has been up and running for three weeks and its still making a TON of microbubbles. I know its the skimmer because you can see them erupting from the output. Is there any way to fix this? It has been 3 weeks and I even went as far as changing my return pump thinking it was...

I changed my lights a week ago to a much better light and there are microbubbles and algae I think growing on the sand. Is this normal?

I’m running Azithromycin for lyngbya. First time medicating my tank (tank will be 2 in February). I plan to dose fluconozole after for GHA. I know I am supposed to run the skimmer without the cup to keep the water oxygenated. My tank is full of microbubbles and my corals are not happy. I shut...

Hi, I have a Coralife 125g protein skimmer. It is just obnoxiously loud and throws microbubbles all over the tank and makes it look cloudy. I feel as though it is bothering the fish. If anyone else has the Coralife 125g skimmer or if you know of a good way to reduce or eliminate the microbubbles...

The answer here is most likely “lol, no” because of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination, but still giving it a try: Being quite happy with the Twinstar Nano in my planted freshwater tanks, and positively surprised by the Mame (Japanese) glass / wooden airstone skimmer, plus...

Please help my skimmer was working fine for a while and out of nowhere makes microbubbles and overflows and I have it set on the lowest setting and I also haven’t added anything to effect the skimmer... I took it out cleaned it made sure nothing was in the pump and it’s still overflowing like crazy

I've seen 2 different designs of bubble traps. Which of the 2 do you think is better in terms of eliminating microbubbles? I was thinking that maybe #1 would be more effective, since water runs through a certain length without contact with the air and then goes directly to the return pump...

I added some artificial resin corals to my tank about 2 weeks ago and ever since my protein skimmer has been overflowing like crazy (I contacted the company and they said it is a fairly normal occurrence because of some molding chemical they use or whatever, but should go away quickly). I have...

Hey everyone. My return pump is spitting bubbles randomly just a little here and there like it’s sucking air from somewhere. The plumbing is ran up the back of the tank not through the return slot in the over flow. As it says in the title it’s not the skimmer or water splashing I know this for a...

Im new to the forum, but I thought i'd share this super easy diy. I got really interested in trying the micro scrubbing and am currently waiting for the limewood air stones, being impatient, I cleaned out an old aqualifter I had laying around and tried to find an old air stone I had from some...

I bought a used RS-170 Reefer, and everything has been working great except for this micro bubbling problem I've been having. I recently replaced the return pump from a Sicce to an M1-Vectra. However the problem was occurring prior to the pump replacment. Things I've done to troublesoot...

Hey peeps, I'm running a marineland 360 canister filter. It's been up and running for 6 weeks now, cleaned once 3 and a half weeks ago. For some reason I am getting microbubbles (mb) from the return flow. The mb aren't happening constantly, they come in little spurts; I can hear that it's...

Hi All, Let me pre-apologize if this has been addressed before, but I am having difficulty finding a solution to my specific problem. The threads that come up in my search typically are for microbubbles coming from the sump. This is NOT my dilemma though, hope you can help. Setup: Running a...
