Micro Bubbles

[e-roc]

OK got a 29 biocube and after about 2 weeks of it being set up i wake up to a crap ton
on little bubbles where could they be coming from i checked the pump its completely
under water no skimmer yet so where else could they be coming from

Thats odd, are you running a sump? If so does it have bubble traps? I had microbubbles before, but that was only when my pump was sucking air.

i have the custom biocube filtration nothing added yet

ok i think the air leak is in my return line right at the top any ideas

well i took the pump out and cleaned it tightened down the hose and put it all back in
mocro bubbles everywhere
i have very little patiance for things like this i plan to add fish in about 2 days if i cant figure it out by then
the Biocube will become the newsest thing i have tossed money into that i just toss in the trash

If you cant tell this is really driving me nuts

You should probably be paitent and wait until you have the issue resolved before you add fish. I don't know whats going on with your pump, post a picture it would help a lot.

I win BioCube
Well there about 5 new sponges in my filter chambers.
what i did was spin the pump around places a higher end mico sponge in front of it.
Then i placed one on both sides of chamber three then i placed one large piece where
i plan to put my skimmer so it will be a tight fir but it will work. then last but not least
i placed one right over the top where the watter flows in. So a few things have happened
doing this. No micro bubbles but i will have to do more maintenance to the tank. I'm not
sure if this has slowed down the flow though. All and now my tanks is super quiet.
