awesome!
looks good!
win the lottery to pay to all of this lol.
Ok so this microbubble problem is really starting to P%SS me off lol. So my question is...... will there always be a few bubbles coming out of the return?
It depends. A few bubbles isn't a real problem unless it's obscuring your view or it's really spreading through a good portion of the tank. If anything, it's oxygenation of the tank. What if you tried changing the orientation of your return pump, so it draws in water from a different section? (if it's not externally plumbed)
Also, could there be any leaks on the intake side of the pump that would be drawing air in?
Lastly, could you reorient your return pipes so it returns and hits an aquarium wall? That could help prevent them.
The return is a Sicce Synca Silent 3. The only thing I could think of was maybe a crack in the pump intake????What kind of return pump do you have? I found that Maxi-Jets will spray air bubbles they collect from the water. It happens in my reactor so I plumbed it into my return and haven't had a problem since.
