This was right after the sand settled, Deep sand bed. LOL
Dumped in the box of Prodibio Startup and waited 2 days. Added first goodie.
SWC 160 cone wouldn't stop with the major micro bubbles, so I switched in an old skimmer. Same results.
Put SWC back in and let it run for awhile and it stopped producing so many bubbles. At least none that were making it to the DT. But it is sensitive, any little disturbance and the bubbles start to flow through entire system. Not sure if its to much flow through the sump or another flaw in design but I will keep playing till it works better. Bubble trap doesn't seem to be doing it's job though.
This is a bubble storm picture after disturbing skimmer.
This is non bubble storm.
Starting to like the aquascape a bit more .
Side view..
Good turbulence on top Sicce moves lots of water.
