Nano Bubble or Micro Bubble method

skim · Oct 1, 2016

Just wondering if anyone is using the Nano Bubble method in their tanks, and if so what kind of results are you seeing?

I micro bubble every night for 8-10 hrs. I like the fact it helps coral shed waste and by helping remove waste to where my skimmer can take care of it or could be carried away Through the overflow into the sump. I like the effects I get from using micro/nano bubbles.

Very helpful technique for multiple benefits for a Reef tank

I sometimes will turn mine on. Did it for a solid week and didnt really see anything good or bad.

I have used Nano/Microbubbles for over a year now, and I can say that it works in a few ways. The Bubbles help coral to shed waste and also free up detritus to be skimmed out or taken into the Sump. It helps with Co2 exchange and helps oxygenates the water. I've used Microbubbles in a aquarium for months at time before in the past and the fish and coral are fine, actually doing well. There's no need to bubble this much in a normal setting, so I bubble 8-10 hrs a night in my own aquarium and my coral and fish are both healthy. My current stock of coral include SPS,NPS,LPS and Softs. I just have two Clowns and a couple Chromis for fish in my Nano Reef. I also run a modified Microbubble Skimmer, but shut that off when feeding. I don't have too clean my glass as much and my tank just seems to be doing better over all if I use these bubbles. It doesn't cost much ( about $1.50-$1.80 every few months) if you happen to have an Air Pump laying around (I had several) but can also get a new pump @ Walmart for $6-$10 and a Lime Wood air stone for $2-$3 at a pet store or online (eBay/Amazon) and some airline tubing you're ready to bubble. I also use a cheap plastic valve I get from Petco for a $1 too control the amount of bubbles coming out of the wooden air stone. You can then inject the bubbles under a powerhead or into the return line. I would recommend at least trying it and if you don't like the results, then don't use it. I have seen results so I will continue to use this method.
