I have a biocube 14, with maxi-jet 900 and a Koralia nano. My return pump is blowing many tiny bubbles which float around my tank. Is there a way to stop this so I can have crystal clear water?
I have a heater in the 1st chamber, a bag of carbon at the bottom of the 2nd, filter floss on top of the carbon, and just the MJ900 in the 3rd chamber.
No bubbles come from the koralia, just the return. It's blowing out quite a few. My water levels back there are good, though I did do this mod because the MJ900 inlet was right up against the wall in the stock configuration (before on the left, after on the right):

The bubbles come out in little bursts, but looking back there I can see no turbulence around the inlet or in the 3rd chamber in general. The water is probably 2-3" above the pump inlet.
