Grizz's 8' shallow sea

The Grizz · #1 04-13-2010, 02:50 AM

So I got the tank and sump filled completely tonight, both skimmer's are running as well as the return pump. Have not kicked in the closed loop on the advise of Paul from Ocean Motion.

The problem I am seeing now is micro bubble's coming out of the returns into the tank. Any idea's out there of what might be the cause?

you probably have a hole some where Grizz causing a suction of air. that is why i love my internal pumps

No he didn't just show up, he is a buddy of my step-son's and the only one that showed up on time other then Josh who was first to arrive for the move.

Well the tank has been running now for 12 hrs now and still seeing micro bubbles coming out of the returns and I am still baffled as to what is causing it.

I don't know, I can't seem to find anything. Every thing look good in the sump but when it is coming out if the return it is full of micro bubble's

it just might take a day or so for little air pockets to dissapate or you said the skimers are running maybe its coming from that direction?

The sump looks clear after the skimmers but I have to add my carbon pouches into the skimmer boxes I built.
