Hi all,
is it ok to have loads of tiny micro bubbles in a marine tank. I'm not talking about the bubbles you get from a cheap, tacky airstone but tiny, tiny bubbles from water hitting the surface from above which creates loads of these bubbles which float back up to the surface. Similar to a powerhead that's sucking air in from being to close to the surface.
As far as I can tell, the fish don't seem bothered by it, it looks Cool IMO and it's helping aerating the water thus increasing oxygen. But can it cause any probs or am I worrying over nothing!
Oh the reason why it's doing this is because I've moved my powerhead which I used for surface agitation so I've raised my spraybar (pump return) about an inch above the water surface which creates these bubbles.
I've posted a pic of it in my journel an I can easily get a vid of it close up to give you all an idea if you like.
Cheers
