Skimmer

[pluff]

Ok,this is a weird ? Anyways here goes:My skimmer that is on my 90 FOWLR.When its running its making tons of tiny bubbles,like air bubbles.Now when i take the skimmer and put it on my 75 FOWLR,that i just setup,it works fine with no bubbles at all.Any reason for this?

Thanks :cheers:

Dman,

I don't have a sump on either tank.Its just a hang on skimmer.(Cheap One :) ) but it does the trick:) Anyways it just seems weird to me :confused: Also i have added extra foam to try to cut down on the bubbles,but still don't seem to work.

Sounds like there may be more polutants in the 90 gallon and the bubbles in the skimmer are able to create more of a surface tension. Because of this increased surface tension they are able to stay as smaller bubbles (not joining with other bubbles) more easily. More of them stay in suspension and because of this more of them get ejected through the output and into the tank.
just a theory.

yes more poluent in the tank is your only problem and it is cause by a skimmer that cant handle your tank

you alway see buble in tank when you plug a skimmer on old tank but they alway stop after a couple of week after the skimmer have clean the water. In your case the skimmer can't clean the tank so he dont stop making those buble

or put a refugium on it.. kinda like the one Bri-fli has on his. converted an aquaclear type filter to a fuge. Looks nice. Just have to get him to post details:D
