Micro Bubbles

The steady stream of bubbles could be from your skimmer. I had this problem too but now I have my skimmer output out of the water and facing up and almost negligible amout of bubbles in my tank.

Definitely not the skimmer. It is in my sump and it is a low flow sump, no bubbles leave the sump.. so thats not an issue.. I has something to do with my CL setup.. Lots of 90 degree elbows, maybe the air just builds up?? I really don't get it.

Have you had this problem from the start? I see your tank is relatively new. I think most new tanks have this problem, but should only last a few days or weeks at most.

The problem has been from the get go. The CL has been running for a while, (before the tank was officially running).. So its been going for about 5+ months.. I have been trying to figure out the bubbles since then.

It seems like air is leaking in somewhere.. I just cannot imagine where. Would you not get salt creep even in the smallest of holes in your joints?
