GrimReefer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just set up a new 20g tank two weeks ago. I used rocks from my 120g and dead sand, but every since day 2 there has been air bubbles all over my rocks and coming from the sand bed constant all day everyday. I have a skimmer biowheel and korilla head in the tank. Are these bubbles normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Is this an all in one unit? I had a problem where in the back of the tank the spill over to the return pump was generating bubbles. A small layer of sponge filter cleared it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no bubbles going into the tank, there just rising out of the sand and stiking to all the rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Daniel Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 what happens if ur 2 koralias are cuasin bubbles good or bad? Are they too high? Try moving them down. More bubbles isn't a bad thing, except aesthetically less pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdavis735 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 i think the bubbles come from clean new stuff.like if you drained the water out and cleaned the tank then put new water back. . . . there would be bubbles stuck all over the glass.i think once the air pockets work out of the fresh sand and rock it will stop.
