HOB air-bubbles - Page 2

lcstorc · 03-20-2007, 01:24 PM

I suppose eventuallu a bubble would build. So far it hasn't been a problem since it takes several days for a bubble to cuild up large enough to break the siphon. So far I have only had the power head off for a couple of hours at a time and that has not been a problem. We used to run it without the hose and it would be fine for up to a week.

Ok I am totally confused. My HOB has tiny bubbles now and it's starting to annoy me. I have read this from top to bottom and I can' "envision" how I am supposed to run an airline to alleviate this situation.

This isn't for hob filters, but for overflow boxes that drain water into your sump.

Air bubbles in your filter are usually from having your water level too low or a leak in the tube somewhere.

Oh ok... well that makes a LOT more sense then! I have read over this thread and looked at my set-up and can NOT figure how the two went together. Newbie alert!!

Thanks mps! I need all the guidance this forum can muster up
