Anyone?? I need to transfer my fish and not sure that's a good idea?

 

[Fishninja]

Has the tank even cycled yet?

Yeah it was a transfer from my other tank, so as I was told, think of it as a major water change.

 

[Chrisfish]

I did exactly what I was told from others here , I'll just need to monitor all my parameters.

Sweet set up!

Nice set up! I've never used bio spira , but I swear by stability.

Sweet set up!

Thank you

Following for sure. This may be the route I go as well. Can't wait to see the build!

Thanks, any suggestions, will be appreciated and hope they will help you as well, I really do love this tank.... So far.

Are you referring to those micro bubbles on the glass? They will go away over time or you can clean them with a sponge. You should be fine putting your fishes in, are you planning on adding more rock?

No they are coming out of the return pumps , one is really bad so I shut if off and only have one running right now, it was really stressing the fish and ME out . :mad: Maybe just a little more rock, not much, like it simple and still playing the placement of it. Any thoughts on the pump? As always thanks for your help.

I remember having micro bubbles when I first set up my tank but I thought it was coming from my skimmer, check if there are bubbles coming out from the connection between the tubes and nozzles in the back chamber

Found someone else who had an issue similar to yours here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/microscopic-particle-air-bubble-problem-jbj-30rl.107878/
I see what the problem was with that tank, water level was way too low in the middle chamber where the pumps are. Could that be your case?
Anyways, I'm attaching a picture of my set up, note the water level in the return pump section is about 4" below the top. Hope this helps

I will do that, I know it's not from the skimmer though as I haven't set it up yet. lol , thought I was the only crazy person up at this time of night.

 

[Brian Kim]

lol, I normally go to sleep around 5 am. BTW, you need to fill the back chamber directly and not expect the water from the tank to automatically fill the chamber

Yes that is exactly what is going on, will read the attached thread now . Thanks!!!

 

[Brian Kim]

Glad you found the cause, now just fill the sump area directly using a small bucket, not the tank

 

[Chrisfish]

Ok will do, now maybe I'll be able to sleep.
