Micro Bubble Assistance

I set up my tank 2 days ago. At first I thought the "blurry" water was just the salt mix as I only mixed it for a couple hours but today I realized it is actually micro bubbles. I am not sur what to do about them. It looks as if they are forming after the Bio Balls in my Wet/Dry. Any solutions?

​

 

judging by the pick id say turn the return pump inlet away from the bioballs as a start. you may also want to make a baffle between the bioball chamber and the retun section, that should solve the problem.

 

Under or over baffle?

 

over. if water is forced to go up to the surface, the bubbles will exit and will not get to the return pump. you can test it with a piece of plastic wedged in there, or styrofoam if u have it handy!

 

Ok, i made some modifications to the sump. I am still having problems with the microbubbles. Is it possible there is just too much flow through the sump and that is causing the issue?

 

I am sure they are coming from that skimmer. I would try extending the skimmer return line and/or adding a filter sock to it.

 

Microbubbles in a new system is a common problem and usually goes away as the system matures with a good slime coating on the skimmer and components. Don't know whay but I have experienced it with every system I ever set up and they all seemed to disappear after a few weeks with no help from me.
