3130 question

doxyman · 08/04/2006, 08:13 AM

Roger,
Yesterday I finished setting up my tank with the Reefpack (3130 skimmer) and I have a question...when checking everything out, the skimmer is putting out a small amount of fine micro bubbles from the intake opening and I wanted to know if this is from being newly setup or is something not right. All the tank has in it as of now is freshly made SW.

Thanks

It is largely that it is new, this problem reduces greatly in a couple weeks. The new saltwater also has an effect as the surface tension carries more bubbles.

Thanks Roger. I was just unsure because I had this RP running for 2+years and couldn't remember if I had them when setting it up then.
