tiny bubbles coming from my out take spray bar - xp3

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

savvy,
squirtle+biggie.

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?

make sure every thing out of water is sealed ,,,and your filter is air tight
