I'm not sure if I am just using it wrong, or what the deal is. When I start putting water in, it agitates the water in the larger tube at the end, and micro bubble just literally pump out of the end like crazy. Like I am using a fog machine. Ill have to keep messing with it, maybe I just have my sink too high and that's the root cause of the issue.
On another similar note, my tank has had a slight haze to it for a little while now. I cant remember if it was hazy before I added the fish, or shortly after. During Cycling the tank was crystal clear unless I did something to stir up the sand. Now it has a light white haze all the time. You can actually see the shadow created in the water from the center brace. My water parameters are testing fine. I did add the bubble wands somewhat recently, but I cant say I have ever had a problem from bubbles in a tank. Could it be that the filters just need to be replaced? If that is the case, what is the best method for changing the filters (which contain the BB)? I will have my new second filter next week, and then will have 3 of the same filter pads in the tank (2 in the current one, and one in the new filter). Should I take the pads out of the old one and put them in the tank behind the filters, one in each unit? That way I would have one seeded filter in each unit pre-filter so that the BB would be flowing into the new filters, but new filters cleaning the water before going into the tank.
I'm afraid to change filters if you cant tell. That is another reason I got a second filter, so that the BB is spread out on 3 filter pads so that I can change them one at at time (once everything is up and running for a long time) and cut down on any cycling.
