You know what Ijbs I noticed that last night, but I thought the bubbles are just coming from the bubbles already in the water. As soon as I get home tonight I will check out all my power heads Thanks men.

Nick.

I had bubble trouble last week.  It was coming from my spraybar.  Every once in a while a jet of bubbles would come out. Very annoying.  I pulled off one side of the bar  to clean itand found it full of mini snails.  As they got in the way of theholes the bubbles were created.  I now have cleaned spray barpieces and many tiny snails in the tank.  I didn't know they wouldlive there.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2005 17:33:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=51116&title=bubbles#51116 <![CDATA[Bubbles. : Nick, If you need lots of chaetomorpha...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=51059&title=bubbles#51059 Author: dkle

Nick,

If you need lots of chaetomorpha fast and you're not too far away from Taylorsville, come over to my house and I'll give you an armful of chaeto.  I always have lots of chaeto to give away.  PM me!

Thank's guys for the advice. The bubbles are from my reture line, I will use the foam or sponge then to trap the bubbles till I have good growth of algae in my refugium. By the way, thank you Mark for the macros.

Add some floss or foam filter to the surface of the sump. It will trap the bubbles until you find a different method to eliminate them.

I do think micro bubbles can be harmful. They become trapped under your rock and build up. Where there's air there isn't water. No water = no sponge, bacteria, etc. A few of these air pockets likely isn't a problem, but if you have too many, it may become a problem.]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2005 09:44:38 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50842&title=bubbles#50842 <![CDATA[Bubbles. : Where exactly are the bubbles...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50834&title=bubbles#50834 Author: jglover

Where exactly are the bubbles coming from?  If it is just from your return line you need to add baffles you could also add a sponge that would also work as a mech filter just wash it every week.  If it is from something else IE protein skimmer you need to design better.  ]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2005 08:53:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50834&title=bubbles#50834 <![CDATA[Bubbles. : When there is a good growth of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50817&title=bubbles#50817 Author: Mark Peterson

When there is a good growth of algae in the refugium, it will stop the bubbles before they get over to the pump. In the meantime, a filter bag of some sort, even just some netting or bridal viel material wrapped around or near the end of the down-tube will stop most of the bubbles.]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2005 05:18:31 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50817&title=bubbles#50817 <![CDATA[Bubbles. : Oh men you don&#039;t even know....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=50807&title=bubbles#50807 Author: nick

I like microbubbles. It gives the look of a reef crest with crashing waves. Any way you can learn to love them?

Ugh - gotta hate the @$% micro bubbles.

Any way to add baffles between where the bubbles are being created and the return pump?

(Note: In case you dont know, baffles are just pieces of acrylic used to seperate sections of your sump.)
