    Default Air bubbles?

    I'm getting air bubbles from the return. What should I do to stop this? It's actually making my tank look cloudy. They're really fine.

    Sounds like you got an air leak somwhere. poke around a bit to see where air could be getting drawn into the return pump.

    I don't know how as the pump is totally submerged.

    What does your sump look like? Is your protein skimmer really close to your return pump? Is your return line strait, or do you see any kinks in it, that could cause some micro bubbles.
