Excessive air bubbles

[BigEfromthe813]

Just did a water change and added a 400 powerhead and there are tons of tiny air bubbles in front of my filters output.. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them??

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Wipe them?

 

[BigEfromthe813]

Not on the glass circulating around in the water

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Are you sure they're bubbles and it's not a bacteria bloom?

 

[Gti_Leo]

is the pump a circulating pump such as a koralia, if so how close to the surface is it. if its to close they tend to spit alot of air bubbles

 

[BigEfromthe813]

The pump is a marineland emperor 400 pro series the output just kinda trickles back in

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Is there anything in the pump?

 

[BigEfromthe813]

The filter**

oh i have a 280, it makes microbubbles when the water level is to low. with these filters the water is supposed to be deflected across the surface of the water not fall into it

 

[BigEfromthe813]

Too low in the filter?? Or too low in the tank?

 

[Gti_Leo]

low in the tank, the slide so to say should be 1/2" into the water.

my 280 is my source of surface aggitation for gas exchange
