Just set this tank up a few days ago. New sand but rock and water directly transferred from an old tank so no cycle. So far so good, corals are all open except the toadstool which looks like it would like to shed first. No fish, just three snails.
The only real problem is that I'm getting a ton of microbubbles in the display. No skimmer, just the media caddy with filter floss and a bag of carbon in the first chamber, a heater in the second chamber, and stock return pump in the third.
I've tried turning the return pump to it's lowest setting but still tons of microbubbles. All connections look good on the pump. Could some of this just be break in related, like once everything has a good biofilm it might go away? Third chamber has the water level set to about 1" below the baffle as per the instructions that came with the tank.
Any suggestions appreciated.
