Forgot to add..If you have a male betta in the tank, it could also be the betta blowing a bubble nest.

I have them too, I see bubbles as good aeration. If you watch the return water dropping from the cylindrical tube, you can see the tiny bubbles drop deep into the water, then float to the surface. If watching the return water in the rays of the sun, you can see hundreds of microscopic bubbles flowing through the water. I don't think it is something to worry about, I think the tube shape makes them appear.

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

I'm getting the bubbles too, I was so excited to try out this product, but now I'm frustrated because the bubbles show up each time. Has anyone figured out why this happens? Are there ways to prevent it? I know it's the Gelous because it does not happen when I don't use this product. I'm doing thin coats & I'm not shaking the bottle.

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

Not enough info to give help. I've used mine dozens of times with no problems. Is air being pumped into the bottle? You should be able to see the water bubbling inside.

Mine had a lot of small bubbles when i finished. And lines from the squeegee. After a couple of weeks they disappeared. With the exception of 2 very small ones. You can take it off and do it again. I read one of the ratings and the guy said it is not a problem removing, recleaning and does not ruin it at all. So go ahead and redo it.

Those tiny bubbles are often just from air in the filter when first started. Eventually they should disappear. If they RETURN much later, after they have disappeared, then perhaps you need to get a new filter, because tiny bubbles late in its use MIGHT indicate problems with the filtering process. But in the beginning, particularly if you didn't run the water about 5 minutes after inserting the filter, those bubbles are simply air being forced through the new filter system.

Try putting it in the bath tube under water and see if there is bubbles coming out

Ha ha....we were actually going to suggest that, but didnt know how to phrase it. Good for you using your noggin....sometimes a bubble of air can form in the plumbing and it is hard to get it out. Guess we will have to add "sucking" to our technical must do list! But that is often all it takes in cases where water is not being disbursed. Sometimes things get disconnected or air bubbles form during the rough ride across the ocean. Glad to see it worked out for you...its a good little machine for the money.

This has happened to me a few times. I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I realized that it was getting a little clogged. I think I'm due to change the filter, but today when I was cleaning it, I blew into the black hole so that water came out the other end and made sure I the motor really well. Put it back together and the bubbles started coming back up through the top. Ashtyn is right too -- you have to really make sure the two pieces line up perfectly together.

The boyfriend says to try good quality filtered water and to turn your freezer to the warmest setting so that the ice freezes slower, that should give the air bubbles a chance to work out. Hope that helps!

The best way is to look for bubbles, inflate it as much as you can and then with a pool or river, or even the hose, look for air coming out. Hope this helps. Kendall in Maui

This is a water pump. If you want air bubbles, get an air pump. If you want to move water, get a water circulator or "wave maker"

You may need to adjust the flow switch on the pump - it may be at the lowest setting and you'll need to move it up. Also make sure everything is lined up properly so that the water can flow to the top. Good luck!

Yes, that could be a issue with your cities water. thank you! Hope that helps!

It's probably mold. I'd try using a beach solution and let it stand for awhile.

So most everyone sees these bubbles as a problem? I miss them having switched from a pair of simple power filters. I have the eHeim intake on one end of the tank and the output dumping down into a bubble wand for a long strand of lots of bubbles. The fish - tetras, mollies, platys, loahces - tend to congregate on the intake side of the tank. Not cool?
