micro-bubbles

[bonomo53]

so iam getting a few micro bubbles from my return even when my skimmer is off i cant figure out why its driving me crazy i replumbed my return yesterday but that didnt help the only thing i can think of is the pump its a mag7 has anyone had problems with these producing some microbubbles

How is it plumbed? By this I mean describe the pipe, tubing, fittings, valves, etc.
Is it submerged in the sump? Do you have any type of restriction on the suction side such as a valve, fittings or filter foams? All can cause cavitation and bubbles.
Did you increase the size of the pipe or tubing as Mag recommends to reduce head loss and lower velocity?

its just simple 3/4 inch tubing from the mag7 to the bulkhead i removed my ball valve when i re plumbed it cause i thought that could of been the problem. as you can prob tell im horrible at plumbing since this is my first set up that has a sump

ive noticed that it dosent constantly shoot bubbles but shoots a bunch of them every 30 seconds or so

its a possibility your pup is pushing to much water creating the bubble try to reduce the water on the return side of the pump.
