CUBAN REEFER - 7 years ago

Hey Deven did you run the micro scrubbing bubbles all night ?

CUBAN REEFER - 7 years ago

Those espressos will pump you up for the hole day.
David that pump is an apump right, but they come with an European plug or they have for USA too

Emadness 666 - 7 years ago

So if my skimmer release micro bubbles to my tank it's ok?
Dose it effect coral or fish?

Soe M Paing - 7 years ago

The same thing happen when I am too lazy to top off my tank and water level got below the return pump.

bryan senulis - 7 years ago

it makes my tank have air pockets under rock.. not sure good or bad

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

That would mean your bubbles are way to big. You want only the tineys ones making it into the tank.. The bubbles coming out of the return should be the size of a pinhead.

Cruz Arias - 7 years ago

thanks reef dude!!! :) sometimes the simpler explanation is better! :)

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thanks so much Cruz. That's an extra big compliment coming from the man him self!!

Jayme reef tank - 7 years ago

loved the video great info. does that air pump come with us plug ?? and ware can I buy that coffee cup at LOL

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

I can't help you with the coffee cup as my fiancé made it for me.. special edition! As for the airpump you can get it on Amazon with a US plug http://amzn.to/2r5rbPE

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thanks so much Aquarium Cabinet Solutions! I think i did a pretty good job simplifying it all :)

SPS Dominant - 7 years ago

I started doing micro bubbles a few years ago to increase PH. I plumb bubbler to the outside for fresh air. I just place the stone near the return pump but far enough away not to get the bigger bubbles. Run at night. Keeps the nutrients down better than not.

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Pumping in outside air would be a fewer way to improve it

I love my coffee!

The Fish Guy - 7 years ago

Interesting concept. I was always under the impression that micro bubbles in the tank was a negative thing because it was hard on the fish/corals. Forcing them both to expend extra energy to create more protective slime since the bubbles stuck to and subsequently stripped it off of them. Tank looks good and healthy so I'm guessing you haven't run into any issues. Good Video!

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Big bubbles are bad but the micro ones are beneficial! They are about the size of a pin head.. you want them to be very tiny!

Seaside Geckos - 7 years ago

no it was a marine land

Ash - 7 years ago

nice tank and a good explanation of the bubbling method...i subbed...

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Mr. Khan glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the sub!

Kevin ENH Vlogs - 7 years ago

nice way to break it down for us dummies ... or better yet this dummy ... nice vid.

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Kevin ENH Vlogs thanks Kevin!

yoshi moto - 7 years ago

i have been doing this for about 2years now. every morning and night for about 4hrs. but i have my wooden air stone right under the return pump.
heaps of bubbles go into the tank and all my corals let off like a slim coat. i have also found that my skimmer pulls even more crap out too

Rad Perez - 7 years ago

I may be doing this soon.... Thanks for sharing

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Rad Perez your most welcome!

Micah Whalen - 7 years ago

Great video! Ive been scrubbing over 3 months with great results. I don't run a skimmer, so the additional O2 is always nice. I do the same as Bluto and run a reverse cycle. Probably helping the PH at night too. I did a few videos on it as I tracked the progression from scrubbing.

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Micah, Ill be sure to check out your videos later. Its great to hear that its been working so well on a skimmer-less system. Do you run filter socks on your tank?

dudesreef - 7 years ago

Haha the way your video starts is the way everyday should start =)

Reef Community Worldwide - 7 years ago

check out my channel done a few on this. good video.

How big is your tank?

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

The display is about 100 gallons

Eric j - 7 years ago

No how many gallons is it

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Roller Coaster studios do you mean how deep? It's 18" deep

DrOfWelshMagic - 7 years ago

Hey Deven, I was doing it for a while but as I dont have an overflow to catch the released detritus et al, it seemed a little pointless, I also do not have a sump so my method was very unorthodox but effective to some extent... my water column was riddled with micro bubbles for 10 hrs a day. (I turned it off for an hour before lights on and after lights out for everything to settle down for the night/wake up) before being blasted with bubbles. Maybe I'll set it up again for demonstration purposes on how i do it with no sump, no skimmer and no overflow...

DrOfWelshMagic - 7 years ago

Oh yes mate for sure, I think half of it is still there after 4 weeks worth of water changes lol. I would deffo reccomend to anyone. I have seen no ill efects whatsoever to any livestock either,

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

With out the overflow you would prob only see half the benefits. (Mainly raised ph by driving it co2). Did you notice more stuff building on your surface after running it all night?

Tristan G - 7 years ago

i used to do it on my tank. I had my airstone close to my return and it worked well although I ended up sticking it in the tank right behind my circulation pump and had a lot! more bubbles throughout my tank, I saw a huge increase in how efficient it was, within an hour I would have heaps of debris floating, worked great. only downside was I was getting bubbles stuck under my corals and rocks and I would have to turkey bast them every day. ended up just quitting altogether as it was too much maintanence now I just stick it in the sump and turn on at night to keep ph up. I'm not sure how well its working for you with such minimal bubbles but try out sticking the airstone right on the intake of your return or infront of your gyre. gaurenteed you will see a huge difference.

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I find having only the tineyest bubbles make it into the tank help prevents them from getting stuck under rocks

With the wood air stone in your sump try having it to the side or just above the pump so the big bubbles rise and only the tiny ones get sucked in

Infamous Aquatics - 7 years ago

Never done it. Heard alot about it. I will have to try it in the next build!

PS That back wall is going to be stunning when all that monti grows out!

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thats just my frag rack! but maybe i should mount one to a magnet :D

Seaside Geckos - 7 years ago

theres micro bubbles forg my filter I honestly dont care

Bubba Shinobi - 7 years ago

Tanks AndUpdates , didn't you tell the live chat you purchased an Aqueon the other day ??

Seaside Geckos - 7 years ago

marine land

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

What kind of filter do you have? For it to work they need to be super tiny barely noticeable bubbles.. you dont want big ones getting sucked into your pump

rob sool Aquatics - 7 years ago

there's nothing like a nice cup of coffee on a Sunday morning enjoy

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Best way to get ready to do a video hehe!

Joe Joe - 7 years ago

Cool video and I love your tank

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

Thank you so much joe joe!

death mage - 7 years ago

thats a big cup of coffee lol, i have been thinking about doing this, seen lots of good results

ReefDudes - 7 years ago

I do love my coffee! Lots have have had good success from it. I figured at the very least it would give me a PH boost at night which never hurts.. Now the tank is looking amazing (although i also started red sea coral colors..so cant 100% say which is which but i'm sure they both add to the magic)
If you decide to give it a whirl keep me updated on your findings.
