I'm having an issue with micro bubbles and am hoping for advice. I've got a 210g reef combined with a 150g sump. For some reason, I'm getting a ton of microbubbles coming into the tank from the sump. Is there anything I can do? It doesn't seem to bother the fish or corals, it's just a bit unsightly.
 
Gonna be hard to help with a solution by just going on what you posted. Pics of the sump setup will tell the tale and let us help you.
 
I had that happen... I just cut up an extra filter pad i had and put it right by where the water came out of the skimmer, granted in my tank the skimmer is build in and it was a lot easier to do, it worked
 
micro bubbles are bad, corals mostly sps dont like that, check your pump make sure its free flowing, if you get a small shell in the pipe it will create turbulance that will make micro bubbles, check your water entering your sump. Make sure you dont have the water dumping into the return section bringing the bubbles back up to your display
