pump blowing a lot of air into the tank
On occasion, it seems like my pump is blowing a lot of air bubbles into the tank, sometimes short bursts of air bubbles. Is this normal? I have a 24 gal nano cube with a maxijet pump.
the water level is ok and above the pump intake. |

No this is not normal. You have a pinhole in a hose or pipe somewhere.
