Microbubbles harmfull?

[actik]

Just installed a HOB protein skimmer in my display, its throwing out lots and i mean alot of microbubbles at the moment until it breaks in, and the powerheads and throwing them all over the aquarium. Could it be harmful to my fish or coral ? i have hardy stuff like, xenia gsp zoa. fish are clowns, desjardini tang and porcupine puffer.

I’ve had the same issue with micro bubbles in my tank. Plenty of SPS LPS and softies with no negative results. Never bothered my fish either. More of a visual bother for me.

Micro bubbles was all the craze a couple years ago. All the cool kids were doing it.

None. No harm at all. As the skimmer breaks in the bubbles will diminish and eventually go away.

Haha yeah. I’ve used micro bubbles to watch my flow in the tank for dead spots.
