micro bubbles

Hi I use a bubble-magus miniQ on my Red Sea Max Nano anemone tank. I would like to get some other users input on the skimmer. I'm new to reefing (one year in) and even newer to using a skimmer. So it might be a general skimmer question or it might be specific to the miniQ. My problem is that I...

This is currently what my tank looks like Question 1) the brown algae -read a lot about it being good, but how much is to much? I also have green algae on my glass. Question 2) close up of rocks with micro bubbles - is this okay? Question 3) should I be running lights on a normal day/night...

Hi everyone, I just upgraded my fiji cube aio return pump to a sicce silent 0.5. Since upgrading the pump I am seeing a lot of micro bubbles coming out of the return nozzle. Any advice on dealing with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, So I have an AquaMaxx HOB 1.5 skimmer in my sump. It isn't hanging. It's just sitting in the sump. I'm considering getting a normal skimmer (BubbleMagus curve 5) instead because this skimmer is causing lots of microbubbles. I used this skimmer on my nuvo fushion and it did the same thing. I...

Trying to figure out the best way to get rid of all these micro bubbles in the tank. I think the main cause is the hob protein skimmer

Hello all, I currently have 3 stacked systems (two stacked aquariums above a sump) that are doing great, but all have a common problem, bubbles. The bubbles come from the top tank draining to the lower tank. I am moving to a new home and plan on running the same type of setup, however this time...

Hello all, I have a couple of videos to upload here, but my tank has been up for a month and a half and I have a lot of white specs in the water? The first with all flow eliminated in the tank. The second has one powerhead on low. I had a buddy say they think it is micro bubbles, but those...

I'm having a lot of issues with the return pump in my new IM AIO tank creating micro bubbles in the display. Per the instructions I have about a 1" drop over the last baffle to the return pump section, but this seems to create and push a lot of large bubbles down to be pulled in by the pump. I'm...

Hello, I'm New into Saltwater Tanks (well, aquariums in general) So, My First Saltwater Aquarium, I've Used the Aquaforest Sea Salt for my 96 Liters Tank and After applying Bio S (The Bacterias) I would say maybe 15 minutes or so, the tank got all cloudy and full of Microbubbles on the surface...

We have had the aquarium cycling for 5 or 6 days now and installed a protein skimmer yesterday. I’ve read and watched almost everything I can find on skimmers and even the brand of skimmer and can’t find a good answer. We aren’t new to the saltwater tank, it has been years though, but never had...

Hey all, just joined the forums and recently got my first saltwater tank up and running about a week ago. Haven't had one since I was a little kid and it has been a fun experience so far aside from one annoying thing, my protein skimmer. I purchased the CPR Bak Pak 2R+ after it was highly...

Is this normal? I just set up my first skimmer yesterday and i'm new to saltwater tanks so don't have any prior experience of using a protein skimmer. I'll attach a video of the issue to see if that will help. The skimmer I have is a Tunze Comline 9004. I've heard that this skimmer is supposed...
