Bubbles In Display Tank

[DrDSGB30189]

Hello! So I have a Red Sea Max and recently it’s taken to blowing bubbles into the DT and gurgling when it does. I’m not sure if it’s because the water level may be low in the sump/return pump area or what’s going on. Any suggestions?

Hard to tell from those pictures how high is the water level over the pump intake? Do you have an ATO to replace evaporated water?

How far is the pump below the water surface? Shoot us photos of the return pump, circulation pump, and any protein skimmers you have.... preferably during a bubble incident.

Here are some pictures. ATO replacement part on order.

Not being caused by skimmer.

Maybe a top-down photo of the return pump?

Add more water to raise the level in t he sump.

Agreed, this is likely to solve a variety of potential causes for the bubbles.

Added water. Guess it was a lot lower than I thought it was.
