ND1990 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just set up a 10 shallow, I had an old 307 from 21’ and put that on it, over kill I know, but I have it. Haven’t used the clear tubes yet and put in a new sponges. I see this on the out take tube, also seems to be making a tiny amount of bubbly noises randomly, just curious if it’s because of the new sponges and hasn’t ran in 2 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Basically something is causing microbubbles. Check the seals on everything, add some 100% silicone grease to the O Rings and then check for pinholes. Check the pump/impeller and make sure air isn't getting into the filter somehow. It's on the output hose or the input hose? Of note, the lid of the x07 canisters fills with water and it just means it takes a little while to purge the air out. I've never seen that before on mine, but I do hear air hit the impeller quite a bit at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha a little impatient on my part there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the media was dirty, just go ahead and double check the impeller and stuff. Glad it's better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
