14 Gallon Biocube Micro bubbles Return Pump

Hey Guys,

I have a 14 gallon biocube love the tank but there is a lot of micro bubbles that will come out of the return pump and float around in the water. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks for the help.

I had this problem for a while too. Mine was because the connection from the return tube to the return nozzle was about to break and did when I attempted to fix it. So I replaced that connection and tube.

If that doesnt help it's likely because bubbles are making it to your pump from chamber 2, put a new foam pad between chambers 2 and 3 as well as putting my chemipure bag at the bottom of chamber 2.

Hope that helps.

mine was because the water level was low and as it spilled over onto the pumps all the bubbles would get sucked back into the tank. So if the other idea doesnt work check your water level.
