Bubbles @ Overflow Box

[wpcheng]

Hi

I am having a lot of bubbles in the Bio balls at the bottom of my overflow box. What does that mean ?

Hi Pegasus1010

I do not have a picture to show. It is just bubbles at the the bottom of the overflow box. Someone told it is good because it contains oxygen. Hence, I am just verifying with the more experienced reefers.

Do the bubbles just stay there and not burst/go away? Could be a sign of high organic content in your water. How's your skimming?

Hi Wolvie

I noticed that the bubbles will formed towards the end of the week. I agreed with u because by end of week the water will get dirty and the when I do a 10% water change, the bubbles at the bottom of the overflow box will disappear. The bubbles will reappear again at the end of every week. Hence it could be high organic content as u said. I am using a MACRO skimmer and it does it usual job of skimming light brown skimmate.
