I'm getting a lot of micro bubbles where can i get a new sponge thing??? Or is the bubbles normal?? I bought the skimmer used so don't really know. Oh and the Rio that comes with it is huge has anyone else used another powerhead instead???

Do you have the strainer on the end of the PH? How high is the water level?

 

[Hypertek99]

yes there's a strainer at the end of the ph and the water level is what the instuction say

 

[shivametimbas]

do you need the whole bubble trap or just the sponge and white pad?

 

[kenske]

use a different kind of foam/filter media in the strainer. That's what i did. i do not remember what kind. i had some laying around, replaced the foam it came with, and the problem is solved . I also added foam/media around the output nozzle.

 

[Hypertek99]

yeah the white sponge or foam thing in the bubble trap. What can i replace it with?

 

[shivametimbas]

dunno,filter floss?

I have mine in my sump, with a crap load of rocks surrounding it. The return pump is on the other side of the sump, so in turn i dont get any bubbles back into the tank just because they disipate before. I have always noticed i get a crap load of bubbles though.

i used a similar type of foam i had laying around. not sure where it came from.

i would experiment with whatever you have laying around also.

I have the 125 model and I have it placed on the other side of the return pump. Then into a refugium with macro algae and I have no micro bubbles. You might just have your return pump running to fast. I am turning my tank over with just my return at 7.5 times an hour. Just a thought.

Well i ordered a new white foam pad i'll see if that fixes things
