Rod's food causing air bubbles in overflow siphon tube

When I feed Rod's Food the PVC going down from my overflow box shakes slighlty and the flow sputters a lil. Has anyone ever experienced this with feeding this food. Every other frozen food does not do this... hmm

 

That sounds strange, I've never heard of that happening. Does it only happen with Rod's food? Have you tried to see if there is anything blocking the pipe?

 

Whenever I feed frozen food my overflow sputters and slows down a bit.

 

I also never heard of that. Have you tried cleaning out your drain pipe/hose?

BTW it actually puts bubbles in the overflow boxes siphon tube, and the bubble gets bigger. I actually have to restart the siphon with an air tube. Now I jsut leave the tube in there to get rid of the bubble after I feed. lol daily saltwater rinse.. yum

 

It's brand new.. not sure if its because there isn't really a slime layer on it. Pipe is clear though. Mysis doesn't do this. could it be due to the surface temp is cooler, because the rods is still cold when I feed it.. it's prerinsed in RO water by the factory, so I just pinch it in. It has small particles corals feed on so I dont rinse it. Gonna try letting it defrostt all the way today and see what happens

 

I feed rods often, but I thaw completely. Never had rods cause that issue. My air bubble was just lack of flow. I cleaned my impellar on my return and voila, haven't had an air bubble in months.
