micro bubbles from return

[jupoc911]

IK just finished plumping my tank and I have so many microbubbles. I dont think i have any leaks because I used silicone on everything. Is it possible that the silicone is causing micro bubbles until it fully cures?

you must have a air gap in a your seal somewhere.

i had them where my return came in to my sump. So i used bio balls where it is and i have no more bubbles.

how do i get rid of the air gap? nothing at all is leaking. Is there a break in period or so?

no air gaps in my piping, no leaking, and a ton if micro bubbles comming into the sump and still a ton going out. Im thinking im better off with this this thing. HELP

use 2 " pvc pipe into your sump place under main water exchange & add filter pad to
the pipe & it will stop micro bubles from returning into tank. I think the name
is water Baffles. :happyfish
