Husband out of town, need help with tank!
What does it mean when there are tons of bubbles coming out of the pumps into the tank? How do I fix this?
Thank You

How's the water level in the sump? The pumps may be pulling air.

Most likely the water in the filtration is low.
Open the stand and see if the water is lower then normal. You will see a definite line in the tank under the stand where there is usually water. Do you have a camera. If so start taking pics so we can see whats up.

There is a container he usually puts fresh water in. Is there any fresh water in it?

Found out what was wrong
THank you for your replies. The water in the sump was not where it should be. Husband forgot to turn on one of the pumps from the freshwater container to the sump for top off.
Thank you
