Pumps running dry, add more water

yeah, or your sponges and overflows or whatever are restricted by algea accumulation. Clean it all up so the water moves into the rear pump chamber better.

DO you have a skimmer back there? It could be releasing microbubbles which are making their way back into the display... ?

I upgraded my BC14 pump with MJ900 and now I can't fix the bubbles problem either. Let me know if you find any solution :/

Different pump but I fixed mine by switching out the impeller.
