Anyone know what is wrong with my tank? | Make sure your filter media is not clogged up in rear chambers. May not be letting enough water through to return pump area and it is cavitating.
You may need to get less dense media.
If so, will spew gazillion little bubbles and make water look cloudy.

I had that tank. I hated it with a passion. I ended up selling it. I had the same problem as you unless I kept it at least an inch above the max water line. It is micro bubbles. Drove me nuts. Good luck. | |

The problem is when the filter is on the it is pushing out water with air in it and it is causing my water to look white. I don't know how to fix this problem and I need help so I can get my filter back on | |

maybe put a sponge somewhere between where the filter returns water into the tank? that would break up all the bubbles if that is the problem _________

I called my LFS and I have to wait until a guy comes in that has more experience with my tank.
If i can't fix it over the phone he said he can charge me $50 for someone to come out because that's the lowest price he is allowed to charge | |

You could probably put a filter sock or something similar where the bubbles are coming out, this should break the bubbles before entering the main tank.
