  • Micro bubbles problem

    My return pump create micro bubbles in the tank. I checked all the join for leaks, i even add more pvc clue around the outside but it doesn't help. i use 3000GPH external pump for return and i have a good amount of mirco bubbles in the tank. it is annoying. This is all the stuff i use, 5feets up 11/2 PVC, 1 11/2 elbow 90degrees, 1 check valve. I reduce the pipe to 1 inch at the return. I did not see any leak or sucking air, nada. what can i do
    I'm a quiter..... But i'm back now....

    what type of pump is it, is your intake big enough??? it might be cavitation.

    are their any big bubbles overflowing from a baffle getting in there?

        dang it reefrookie, I'm having a snow storm of micro bubbles in my tank now. Since you can't fix yours, I guess you can't help me with mine.
