Need Help: Aqua C Remora Making Bubbles

[krikor]

Hi guys, I JUST set up salt water tank today and my Aqua C remora is pumping tiny bubbles into my tank. Is this what it usually does?

I dont know whats going on, any advice would be great!

Thanks guys

how new is the setup, most new pumps make micro bubbles for a few weeks till they break in

If I had more info on how it's set up, I might be able to offer more assistance

sorry, getting tired - it's a skimmer making bubbles in the tank?

if so, then you could reduce the water flow into/out of the skimmer to reduce the ammount of bubbles going into the display.

I don't have any experience with this skimmer, so I'm just guessing that this can be done.

Thanks, it was just set up tonight, i could try to reduce the flow with a smaller pump... the remora though comes with the mag drive 1200... and thats what i have on there, are the bubbles bad for the tank?

Ive heard they are bad for fish but i have no fish in there yet.

Thanks alot

depends on who you talk to on here about the impact they have on livestock

in my expierience, they don't seem to - they are more of a nuisance than anything...

[krikor]

Yeah they just make the water murky... so id love to get rid of them.. atleast a littlebit

It´s normal for the Remora to make tiny bubbles during the "break period", this will continue for 2-3 weeks but then they will begin to slowly disapear.

And yeah, tiny bubbles could only hurt pipefish and seahorse when they confuse them with food.

Ah yeah actually it mostly went away after the first night all together, everythign seems ok... one of my tiny anenome's dissapeared, and i have some things i have no idea what they are, like a giant spiney catepiller looking thing.
