    They may be too close to the surface & you can't see the small swirl sucking in air, otherwise I'd dare to say it would be impossible otherwise, try & lower them another inch or two.

    If there are small oxygen bubbles coming off algae, etc, in your tank, or from the skimmer return, these will build up in your powerhead and release when the accumulated bubble gets to a certain size.

    Just tell your wife that having a tank teaches you all sorts of new DIY skills...which will save lots of money around the house...so you can buy more stuff for your tank...so you can learn more skills...
