No I don’t wash any of my equipment with soap I don’t want to risk any getting into my tank and it’s fairly new I’ve used it for three days now.Is that a new filter sock? Did you recently wash it with soap?
I do have white fuzz that I thought was just an invasive type of mushroom coral but I’m not sure?OK, sometimes a brand new sock will give bubbles depending on where you bought it from, but it shouldn't be doing that 3 days in for sure. If you ever do wash your felt filter socks, don't use detergent. I just use bleach in the washing machine and do a couple extra rinses and then let air dry thoroughly. Anyway, that doesn't seem to be your problem. I'm wondering if you have a bacterial bloom going which could give bubbles in your return area. Is your water cloudy at all or do you have white fuzz around?
Yes I dose calcium alkalinity magnesium iodine trace and zooplankton.have you added any additives to your tank lately?
Yes I do why do you ask?Silly question do you have a Protein skimmer?
Any way to stop it?Thought it was acting as a skimmer if you did not have one. When I was battling Dino’s I kept my skimmer off and that would happen in my overflow socks also.
Yes it is underwater about 1 1/2 inches under.Do you have the return pipe under water to prevent splashing? The water agitation could be doing it

Sorry just getting caught up on R2R after a long day. After reading everything posted, my best guess is that you're not clearing enough organics out of your water with your skimmer and that your return hose isn't far enough under water. It's usually best to have your return line go into a catch basin first and then have that overflow into a sock. That helps get rid of a lot of bubbles generally. Also, adding a jet of water into your sock can keep dislodging trapped detritus and make a nasty splashing mess. However, if you don't have room to do a catch basin prior to your sock, just try extending your drain line (with some tubing) to almost the bottom of your sock. Definitely try increasing your skimming so that your emptying skimmate more frequently to see if that will help. If your blasting your system pump, try reducing that next.I do have white fuzz that I thought was just an invasive type of mushroom coral but I’m not sure?
