FlCandy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was saying take your current hose and discconect it from the powerhead and see if you get microbubbles. If not replace hose or get a hose clamp. Sorry if it didn't make sense And any time FLcandy, if you got ???s I got answers.

Felicia Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Damn! Next time I am picking your brain! Deckoz does seem to have tons of information all the time! Its great Sorry to hear about the microbubbles Danielle! I hope the tubing fixes the issue. Link to comment

Also, what I have also done from my pass notations Free hugs? i was trying to be serious on the second post referring to changing it every 6 months... IME with rubber combined near/in water - it will deteriorate and dry out.. and in the end fail - but its not like it would cause catastrophe in the tank.. but put it on a regular schedule because you can buy bulk of it for cheap. When i got the hose for my return pump - it was 3/4" and they had all kinds of smaller stuff cheaper - look near the pvc section in lowes/home depot Link to comment

surgicalsense Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Found tubing on Marinedepot websit, I just need to measure the return tubing when I get home Link to comment
Trogdor447 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Found tubing on Marinedepot websit, I just need to measure the return tubing when I get home its based on inside measurements - so keep this in mind! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 its based on inside measurements - so keep this in mind! I will... thank you Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 marine depot stocks tubing that is labeled in both inside diameter and outside diameter. More then likely your stock tubing is the equivalent of Marine depots 1/2inch outer diameter vyn tubing - as most of these AIO tanks come with it. But measure both outer diameter. And if you chose to go by inner diameter - on your barb fitting measure the width of the sleeve excluding the barbs Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If where your hose is connected isn't barbed(looks like v's) and its a straight cylinder just measure the diameter Link to comment
Trogdor447 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Barb fitting? barbed just means it has ridges to help hold on.. its not just a flat tube uhh lets see what to compare this with.. the airline fitting you got me for xmas - is a 'barbed' Link to comment

Sweet! Can anyone identify these? Other then that they are plan green zoa and.... I just received my 2 way splitter and 60watt transformer from Ecoxotics so next months I will order the the rest if I can. If not I will break that up also. Either way I will have the LED's prior to April. Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey! It looks like things are coming together for you! Did you get those blue zoas? The green one's look like radio active green one's I just got from Vivid. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey! It looks like things are coming together for you! Did you get those blue zoas? The green one's look like radio active green one's I just got from Vivid. No on the blue zoas, later this week. They guy emailed me and apologized on how slow he is moving and offered to toss in a second frag free. Which was nice of him. Weird part is I am paranoid of zoa pox my filtration is running to clean now. I did a feeding yesterday I would usually not do with flakes, today mysis again. Adjusted the skimmer again, foam is kinda back, still to clean. The seller is tossing in bright zoa I asked for. Again I do not know what they area, so we shall see.I really dig Vivid, but the cost is just a bit much. So far I am getting more for a fraction of the cost this way.... Link to comment

I hope If all else fails.. just burn it to the ground.. buhaha TROGDORRRR Sounds like your problem is 'trivial' to fix.. but a pita overall Link to comment

I am almost 6 months old in this hobby as a reefer. So, what the dueces? Anywho, I measured, I ordered what I need and I think I did alright. Now the rest we shall see when I remove the pump, return, and L joint to the powerhead. If the bubbles are gone, then I did alright. If not, I am SOL and start over and reevaluate. Link to comment

That is kind of creepy all the stuff to fix that should be super cheap! And you know its karma, i had some micro bubbles attack my protein skimmer yesterday.. i must have pinched the hose just right.. took an hour or 2 for them to go away after tinkering.. fortunatly i have a bubble trap in the sump which helps.
