Closed loop making some serious microbubbles?

[Helfrichs Chic]

Anyone have a suggestion?? I thought it was the skimmer but its coming from the CL. The only thing that's on that is the chiller which is off. THANKS

The line could be sucking up air in a connection like a venturi pump would do. Reposition the hose and tighten the clamps.

Well the pump is IN THERE!~!!! I Have no freaking clue how Jesse and Jonah got it in there to begin with LOL! All else fails I just kinda bumped it and tightened the clamps, not 100% no bubbles but MUCH better then it was. SHEESE all this after going to Pets Inc today for a ballast and the ATR for looksies. Who's idea was this tank LOL! Ugh

anytime there is micro bubbles, it is being pulled from infront of the pump. so check all the tubing from the tank down to the pump. or it could be the pump itself.

Let the closed loop run. After a few days the bubbles should work themselves out of the system

I would come look at it, if you weren't in east LA.

maybe your pump is Cavitating. Restrict flow output. That was my Wahoo's problem.

Yea no cavitation... I banged on it a bit LOL well thats MY way of fixing things and its MUCH better. I think I will need 2 new pumps here within a couple months. STILL need to sell my lights and get a controller thou!
