    i think it is mostly aesthetic reasons, alot of micraobubbles can give the tank a cloudiness.

    but i do think "massive" amounts can be detrimental to health but i have no idea why.

    If you ever find a way to get rid of these, PM me - I have the exact same protein skimmer, and all they do is make my water cloudy!


    I think we need a sump but i dont know how to make one for this set-up.
