So we set up a new tank today ( with an established filter) and treated the water with a primer. Put the bible stick in and this happened. Normal? Isn't just the primer bubbling up or should we kill that bubble stick?
I always just take a plastic cup and dip it out, then do a water change. Not sure that the water change is needed, but I always did get a bit concerned that whatever caused it to foam might have some bad effect on the fish.
That happened to my 10g tank when I first got it. Took me forever to figure it out. I ended up taking the wand out because it wouldn't stop. It honestly made me never want a bubbled again but I did find out it was partly because of some chemicals I used and because the tank had a fine film of dirt (from Walmart gravel). So just do a water change and leave the wand out for about a week
