The bubbles are coming from my fluval and it shouldn't its brand new, but maybe theres something im doing wrong, and also one of my power heads is shooting bubbles but its new too and its been washed, so im not sure if they are getting air from the bubbles that are already in there or what.
What should i do???????

I would shut one of them off to determine which is causing the bubbles.
Don't panic :nervous:
I've seen too many say that bubbles will kill your fish.....
Only true if its for an extended period of time....
Reefs have billions of bubbles in the tides.....
If bubbles don't stop in a day or two, then you will need to do something.....
Find out which is causing the problem

They both shoot bubbles, and I am guessing that maybe they are getting air from all the tiny bubbles that are in there already, could I shut the fluval and the powerhead off and try to scrap all the bubbles out??
HELP:help: :help: :help:

I would shut them both off for a few hours, or until the bubbles have all cleared the water....don't worry about the bubbles on the galss... etc.
Then just turn on the powerhead and wait an hour or so. If there is still air trapped in the powerhead you may get more bubbles..... Move the P.head around...upside-down...shake it...all while under water....get bubbles out.

I wouldn't worry....I've had power-outages over to 10 hours and had way livestock than that in my tanks.
