Just set it up three days ago and it's blowing out micro bubbles. What's the problem and cure?

do you have the air line hooked uyp, if so, disconnect it, if not, it may have some air trapped inside that did not work itself out yet, i had this problem wiht my 402 for a couple of weeks, then someone posted to unplug it and turn it upside down in the tank, a couple of times, to let the air work out, sounds like it could work, but mine finally stabilized and stopped itself

if you do have the air tube hooked up make sure to adjust the setting on it. if not, is the ph fully submersed?

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm going to try that upside down trick. My powerhead gave me strong currents at first now it seems to be not as powerful. Any comments? Maybe it's just me!

Did you hit the adjustment on the side by accident? It may have been turned down.
I had my 802 set up for a few months, I got from my brother who had it for a year.
He said it blew bubbles the whole time. I tipped it over when it was running in the tank and shook it, all the air came out. Problem solved.
