too many bubbles in tank
I suddenly have lots of bubbles in my tank. haven't changed anything about filtration, aeration, nothing . the water actually looks cloudy if viewed from the side. no evaporation. water level is stil the same. I don't like all these bubbles. what could cause this?ll

What type of filters do you have and have you done any routine maintenance lately ?

no python. I have two AC 110s. last maintenance this past Saturday, cleaned the right side filter . the right side filter seems to be producing more bubbles and more flow now than it was this morning. should I turn the filters down ? they are running on full.

Sounds to me like one of the filters is sucking in air somehow.
I'm not familiar with these models but I'd check they're put together properly and lube a small amount of vaseline on any O-rings there may be.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

aquaclears dont have any o rings to check, they are HOB filters and darn good ones. are we talking about bubbles in the water column or bubbles floatiing on the surface? the cloudy could be caused by bb bloom... also what temp is the tank?

bubbles in the water. the only bubbles at the surface are where the waterfall breaks the surface. temp is 77.2.

the flow seems so much stronger in the tank than yesterday morning. could the stronger current be kicking up my sand? it seems clothier towards the bottom of the tank where the sand is.

Could you try a post a few pics ?
That might help to better understand what is going on in your tank.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
