Hi all,
I am the Ranger at a stocked impoundment in Cairns, Australia and am currently in the process of setting up a display tank for our visitors, the tank is 6' x 2' x 2.5'. I am running a Aquasonic pump as a return to the tank,and it pumps 62 L/M.
The sump is gravity fed by a "hang off the back weir".
Which leads me to the issue that I am having and the hope that you guys can help me resolve it.
The tank has now been cycling for three days and it is a milky colour due to a massive amount of air in the water, I think that this is due to the fact that the weir is creating a vortex and sucking a lot of air into the sump and then the impellor in the pump is fractuating the air bubbles and making them minute and dispersing them throughout the tank.
Is there an easy fix for this?
Thanking you all in advance and I look forward to your replies.
