My 5 month old trigger sump might be defective need help.

Not sure how it was debunked. Likely from chaeto and just flow through the sump. 100% not a defective sump.

It was debunked because I ran my finger next to the seam and the bubbles didn't disappear

Yes, all in the same chamber. Not an issue.

Not the same chamber. The back bottom edge is the entire back side of the sump bottom seam that meets the bottom.

Do the bubbles wipe away? If so, it may be some cyano growth. But as has already been pointed out, it is an internal baffle, so nothing to worry about.

Now, if you sump has that going on where the exterior corners are located, I'd say you should be worried.

No I just said they don't wipe away . They are also forming outside of the water.....

Yes, I saw that. But you have to understand that others may have posted to the thread while I was writing my response.

It's not just in that location it's also along the back side bottom seam and the rate at which it has progressed all with in the last 2 weeks which has me worried about it leaking. Not really much if a hassle to swap my sump.

Then why are you asking us... the other post you seem to be looking for a certain answer or you are just that worried about it? Email trigger systems with pics and see what they say. If your in the one year warranty from purchase, you'll be taken care of with a replacement.

Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this issue. You know make conversion on here. It sounds like you are annoyed with my thread.

I'd be curious what the manufacture has to say??

Honestly that looks more like gas from cyano or algae just inside the leading edge of the seem. Cyano seems to like low oxygen areas like below the gravel. May not be fully sealed along that leading edge. I am not sure your wiping can get at it and the fact that it is increasing probably just means more biological growth. You might try turning it dark to see if it goes away. There are no bubbles in the middle of the baffle and acrylic does not separate with bubbles like silicone on glass. It would totally crack the seam if it were to actually fail.

Same. I will update with what they say. I've never had any issues in the past with trigger sumps always been A+

I wish it was cyano but it is not it's happening along the entire back edge of the bottom seem as well. It's happening above the water too far above the water.

Separation happening above the water line no cyano in The air. That's how the entire back bottom. Seam looks it's been getting worse over the last 2 weeks.

Hopefully Trigger helps you out. They are easily top 2 worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. They straight up will stop responding to emails no matter how many you send.

I paid them $150 for the upgraded filter roller setup and they sent it in wrong. My sump ran right to left and they built the filter roller setup to be run left to right. They knew my sump was opposite since they custom built it. They even acknowledged they made the part wrong. They never sent a replacement or my money back. I was well outside getting PayPal (or my bank) involved. I sent weekly emails for months on end to no avail.
