Do you run a skimmer? I'm curious where you think the organics that attach to the bubbles are going?

yes, i run a skimmer, it fills cup 3x as fast and is darker skimmate

Very interesting. Can you share more about your tank? Size, build specs, typical maintnence, pictures, and what pump and stone you use.

Thank you!

So... can you provide more detail as to what you're doing and how?
