    hey eddy good luck with the tank. I and most biocube owners ( i believe) feel as if you raise the water in the back of the tank above the recommended water level the bubbles will stop coming through the pump into the display.

    Maybe I am being impatient, I did raise the level above, and the bubbles are still blowing out at a pretty stong pace. Do you think it is because there is air in the bio balls that is still being released? The dust is clearing very quickly though.

    I think it was the air intake on the pump, I adjusted the swivel around the propeller and it seems to have cut the bubbles almost completely. At least I can see my great rocks now!! LOL
