hey everyone.

i have a rena xp3 and i've created an extension to my intake and out take bars with pvc pipe.

i did this 3 days ago when i had to clean my rena xp3 canister filter. i thought why not just quickly build the extension.

anyway, after i cleaned the canister filter i also took out the chem-zorb thing and replaced it with activated filter carbon in nylon socks.

i also added bio spheres to my stock bio-chem stars and scrubbies.

i got everything going but i noticed that there are tiny bubbles coming from my spray bar. my water also hasn't gotten crystal clear yet the way it was before, its still a bit 'foggy'.

i understand the carbon and bio-media play a role in water clarity but there hasnt been much improvement.

i also understand that these 'bubbles' could be nitrate/nitrites?


if there are any experts out there that could enlighten me i would really appreciate it.

cheers

damn.

i guess thats a possibility. if it is, would it be the reason why my tanks not getting that crystal clear water?

if i still get my clear water i dont care about the tiny tiny bubbles.

how can you make sure theres no air leak?
