Re: Bio-bale bad? Help me get rid of bubbles!

you could also drop the water level down a bit so it is just above the skimmer pump.

could the skimmer pump be leaking air at all. check all the fittings to it.

Re: Bio-bale bad? Help me get rid of bubbles!

I found some filter media that's rated at either 50 microns or 100 microns. Which one would be better at trapping the bubbles? I'm assuming i want the tighter weave but I don't know if that means 100 micron size particles allowed through, or if the higher number means a tighter weave.

i think the smaller the micron the smaller the weave
