air bubles from my powerhead

[tylerfear]

i have a maxijet 900 and it has been shooting out alot of bubbles? can anyone help

Do you have the venturi tube hooked up to it?

 

[tylerfear]

ya it's hooked up, it's weird because i actually have 2 maxijets and one shoots out alot of bubbles all the time and the other shoots some out every couple of minutes

 

[bigarn]

Remove the venturi tubes and you'll remove the bubbles.

i just had this problem and i have no air tubes. i emailed aquarium systems, they make maxi jets, and he told me to turn it upside down in the water and tap on it for a while, since doing this i have hardly anymore bubbles coming out.

thanks they stopped, hey one more quick question. my tank is in day 5 of it's cycle and i am starting to get greenish algea i think, is this normal

 

[bigarn]

In your case that's fine ... but as long as the venturi is hooked up there's going to be bubbles.
Sorry .... The reply is for gfk. :happyfish

I have the exact same powerheads and one of mine was just doing this last week. Hubby took it out, took it apart and cleaned it real well and it never did it again. hope that helps.
