Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2009 12:57 pm Question regarding water level inside canister
What should be the water level inside the Canister on the XP3? Mine seems to be about 1/8th inch below the top of the top basket. The very top of the filter is exactly 20 inches below the water surface. That's the furthest below the surface I can get it at this point. It's on the bottom of the cabinet under the stand.
Reason I am asking is that after two days, the filter is cleaning the water absolutely great, but the tank is full of micro-bubbles, they just swril around in the water and give it a hazy appearance, and collect onto the underside of the rocks, spraybar, etc. I know this is probably oxygenating the water just great, but it's annoying, nonetheless.
My spraybar is halfway submerged with the holes discharging under the water so there isn't any spray noise.
