micro bubbles from sump

heartben · #1 11/18/2007, 05:59 PM

wondering how i might go about getting rid of the bubbles that are making it into the dt from the sump

the water overflows into the return section so when the water hits the lower water it makes some bubbles... i was thinking of covering the pump with rocks maybe...

what are your suggestions? i would rather not put another baffle in if possible..

Add more water Ben so the return level is higher, then you wpon't get the bubbles. I get bubbles if my return gets too low.

fair enough. it just sucks going to buy water every couple days...shucks.

What I am saying is shell out for an RO/DI. Much cheaper in the long run.

i know, i know. dont have that much right now..

but that is where i think we will buy from - if i dont find one used on here sometime... ill probably sell some coral or something to buy an ro di... maybe all of the coral if i have to, i suppose good water is more important at this point.

That last sentence is correct.
