I have a HOB refugium powered (as they likely all are) by a small power head pumping water into the refugium and then back through an elbow dumping water back into the display tank.
The purpose of the HOB was the display is nearly BB, with just some rubble and I wanted a place to get a bigger pod population growing.
The water dumping back into the display contains bubbles which rise to the surface, pop and create salt creep everywhere.
I tried putting a hole in the top of the elbow dumping into the tank. Putting a sponge of some type, defeats the purpose.
Short of scrapping the refugium, what can I do to eliminate this bubble popping issue?
