I have a turboflotor 1000 and I cannot for the life of me stop the micro bubbles from getting into my display tank getting pumped up from main pump. Any ideas to help with this??
 
New unit or old?
I used to put a sponge filter on the end of my outlet to knock the micro bubbles down.
 
If it's new, there is a break in period, if not, you can put a sponge on the outtake to reduced your bubbles
 
It actually isn't new, I bought it used. Could it be I some where have air coming into my return plumbing? I see no leaks at all and it's all done with pvc which I only have three parts that are threaded with Teflon tape and tightens down??
