Red Sea Max E-260 Air Bubbles

[Gary Ellis]

Why am I getting air bubbles coming up from under the skimmer on the right hand side. When I put my random flow generator nozzles on, the right side nozzle shoots out a bunch off air about every 2 minutes. The left side nozzle works fine.

Still getting micro bubbles any suggestions on setting the skimmer gate and air valve?

HI Gary,

are you having trouble with the skimmer or the the RFG Nozzles? I can help with the RFG, but may not be of much help with the skimmer.

RFG Nozzles are working fine... I'm not sure where the micro bubbles are coming from. If I look in the back along the right side of the skimmer I see tiny bubbles rising up from the bottom... The left hand sump has micro bubble all on top of the water.

I am having the same problem in reverse. Right side full of bubbles coming out of skimmer

I am new to a lot of this. I started up Red Sea Max 260E. Are there different nozzles available to generate random flow patterns? If so where did you get them?

Random flow generators online it’s like a straight nozzle with a vortex inside of it.

Thanks. Picked up a pair. They work great.

I had micro bubbles coming from my power heads every couple of minutes or so, which was super frustrating. I increased the flow from my powerheads in the back sump and no micro air bubbles anymore. Water is now crystal clear.
