my brand new Tunze Osmolator decided it didnt want to work while i was gone for 3 days and my return pump was blowing TONS of bubbles into my display. My clown fish is freaking out. He wont leave the waters surface and wont eat. Is he stressed or could he have eaten a bubble or something that is making him act this way? Visually he looks fine, there were tiny bubbles all over him but they are gone now that i filled up the sump.

probably just freaked out....give him something with garlic in it to get him to eat.

keep a close eye on him. i know clowfish are prone to gettin brooklynella and can die quickly look for clamped fins, rapid breathing and a mucus like coating on his body. mircobubbles are usally not a prob but if there are a lot over a long period of time it could possibly cause some gill irriation. if hes at the top that could be the prob because the top 2-3" of water are O2 rich

Is there a way to test or know this and how do you change it?
