Blowing bubbles ... I mean, bubbles blow.

[Delphinus]

Well guys I tried my new sump last night.

And .... I'm guessing it might be time to admit this is a problem that is just bigger than me.

A new sump return pump. A new sump, with a stupid collection of overflows and baffles ... I don't see any bubbles making it into the pump, yet there they are, a nice fine white mist blowing out of the sump returns. :mad:

I'm never using an inline pump again. Next tank the sump return will be submersible. Never had this problem with the submersible pumps.

Anyways I'm not sure what my next step is yet. I can't live with a whitewater tank. I guess the only thing I haven't re-addressed is the two actual PVC output pipes into the tank (everything else has been replaced)...

Would love to hear any ideas/suggestions...

... sigh ... I'd give anything to get past this. I've been fighting the microbubble issue since ... man I can't remember that far back. At least a couple of months now. :(
