bubbles in main tank
I just finished addind a sump to my 75g reef now it's full of tiny bubbles.I am using a DIYsump made out of a 29g and I am using a 1400 gph Lifereef Overflow with a Magdrive1200 for a return pump.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to stop the bubbles. Thanks |

Hi reefer504!
Some type of baffling system in the sump is the best way to diffuse them. I always used an under, over, under system which allowed them to accumulate in the center, preventing them from being returned.
