Tiny Bubbles under equipment

[kevsqn]

im having these tiny bubbles under some of my equipment like my mag scrapper. There are specially more bubbles after water changes. I do put powerhead when i water change to aerate it.

Just bubbles sticking to the surface caused by water movement.

does it mean my powerhead is too strong? how do i reduce it?
thanks!

Stick it under waterm a Lil more so it's not drawing air into to tank. If that was the cause you would see the bubbles being pushed by the pump.

That's not an issue when you add water to the aquarium its going to cause bubbles. There is probably algae on cleaner that allows the bubbles to adhere to the scraper. Just wipe off if it bothers you. If you have a sump that the protein skimmer is releasing microbubbles to your display then that is a different issue.

yea maybe its combination of both algae and the skimmer. my skimmer is just behind that scrapper. RO ns80.
thanks for the reply man!
