Why are air bubbles bad for a saltwater tank?

only when something breaks or it over flows, other than that my tanks are my zen.

True...but I find there always seems to be something. LOL...My daily mood kind of goes with if the tank is okay or not.

A Possum crawls through your humidity vent and drowns itself in your lagoon.

Oh man, me too. Glad I'm not the only one. Although I wonder why my LFS treats me like a lunatic.

Unfortunately that is the case. I would remove those. There is also some speculation that air bubbles can get trapped in the gills of the fishes and cause breathing difficulties. You actually want the water to roll across the surface to cause air exchange. Think of the ocean....

Thanks, now I have to pee.
