ATI Hydro Sponge Pro Filter #5 Creating Micro Bubbles

[Matt1628]

I have the air pump located in an insulated closet hanging from the ceiling to help quiet it down.  Its an ActiveAqua AAPA70L that came with the tank when I bought it used.  I'm running about 8 outlets off it on four different tanks.  I'm going to try adding a Cobalt egg rocker to it tonight.  First time using a tumbler and first time trying to strip eggs. I have a female Stuartgranti Maleri peacock holding now.

No.The output is pointed up at the surface, which I'm considering changing to a spray bar in the future.  I valved down the airflow to the sponge filter. Instead of the canister getting real annoying an hour or so after purging, it now takes six hours to get annoying.  I think now I'll just have to tweak where I have my powerheads and see if I can get it closer to 12 hours. If not, I guess I'll take the sponge out. I like having it on hand though if I have to set up an emergency tank for some reason, I would already have a cycled filter media.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Now that more information has been divulged, it could be your power heads causing the bubbles.
