I have a 10g tetra tank with small schools of pristellas, rummy noses, glowlights & neons. The intake into one of the filters (Fluval 106) came unstuck from the back of the tank and slipped down diagonally to just above the airstone. I've noticed that bubbles of air are being sucked in, passing through the filter, and are then being blown out into the tank again as smaller micro bubbles.
Obviously this is easily fixed by reattaching the sucker to the back - but is this a good thing or a bad thing? Since beneficial bacteria thrive in oxygenated water, would these bubbles promote better bio filtration by passing through the media?
Or are the air bubbles likely to damage the filter in any way?
