well i had problems on my 180g we had to reset EVERYTHING literally, new plumbing all teh works, anyhow after gettin it all setup again (using the same pump, same wet/dry etc) i haev a alot of bubbles coming from the return pump into the tank i dunno hwo to get rid of them any suggestions? its a 6900gph or 115 gpm pump so im moving alot of water but it was fine before please help asap i hate seeing a thick cloud of air bubble in my main tnak

thanks in advance (sprry for spelling)
 
UPDATE: i was tinkering with the ball valves it seems at a certain spot it stops all teh bubble but just a hare more u hear the pump get louder n out come bubble unfortunatly the set place for both valves is a little past where it throws bubbles so im screwed there, so i was thinking

being thats its all new piping and new ball valves is this gonna work sorta like a skimmer? after a week or 2 they will just go away after the pipes have the slimy build up on hte ball in the vavle?

is my best bet just to sit n let it go for a little while n see what happenes?

and what about live rock and fish will they be ok with bubble for a couple weeks?



the ball valves are all 1" the out from the tnak into teh wet/dry is full open

the pump is 2" piping from teh filter into teh intake of the pump then 2 inches out reduced to one inch at a "t" where i run 2 lines one for spray one for surface those vavles are both about half open

again sorry for pelling i been up for a ocuple days cant sleep for soem reason

You are heading towards super saturation... Hold on, let me find a link to an old post where I, Zoodiver and others went into this in detail. It's too much to re-type, and you will understand why once I locate it, so hold on, be right back.

Ok, here is the link to one of the threads that should give you some basic info on your "Bubble" problem.

As far as the rest............... read the thread, and do a search for more threads (as there are several) covering this, and once your eyes are burning and your brain is fried.... ask me whatever you need to, LOL.
