I just setup my new aquarium rack, and I'm having issue with bubbles...

The way I have it setup, is the water from the top row, flows into the aquariums on the bottom row. Now as you can see from the picture, I'm having a lot of bubbles...

What can I do to stop the bubbles? Any ideas on a bubble trap that I can make? Or any other ideas?

I'm assuming that the air is coming from the top of the pipe and not from the water entering the bottom tank. One approach to try would be to add a gooseneck to the top of each tube like a durso style drain.

I honestly think it's the water entering the bottom aquarium.

In that case extend the pipe further into the water and possibly even add an elbow.
