This a basic article but I believe is applicable to this discussion. It states that water movement basically achieves the very items of discussion. I'm no expert but I do push a ton of water through my tank after reading this article and when I keep my other levels in check, I have a happy tank. I run an over sized skimmer and this also helps my O2 levels. JME.This confused me a little because I always assumed surge was an increase in water volume, such as storm surge, from hurricanes, etc. and I assumed it can also mean the force produced by a wave, creating a surge of water, such as what happened in this video, which introduced fresh o2 into the water, directly into the reef. Regardless, if I used the word surge incorrectly, microbubbles do occur!Maybe you can clarify it for me, I tried to research it a little and couldn't find much on it, other than storm surge. I'm familiar with storm surge as I've handled hundreds of hurricane claims over the last 20 years.
I wanted to give a shout out to @Thales and a sincere public apology. I've already discussed it in private with Rich and just felt it was necessary to say something here, in hopes that he remains active as this discussion continues to grow in popularity. Basically, I felt insulted by an earlier post, but I misread the post and took it personally. I also spent the better half of the evening reading some great articles that Rich was gracious enough to link me.
The following article really opened my eyes, on many levels! Thanks, for this great food for thought!

This helped me understand skepticism from a scientific point of view, as opposed to a hobbyist point of view. Maybe others will take the time to read it and will be more open-minded to such skepticism in the future, in the end, it will make us all better reefers!
Count me in. I'll do some testing myself. I'm just gonna kick it up a few notches to see how well it really does work. I have a oxygen diffuser and large oxygen tank plus a micro nano bubble generator that I can blow directly into my return pump inlet. Let the games begin boys!
I wonder if I can overdose some Acropora's?!?!
