I've been running my Rena xP3 as a media chamber for a while. I've tired everything (new hoses, clamps, o-rings, gaskets, etc.) to get it to stop blowing micro bubbles into my display but it still does. It isn't all the time but once or twice every 5 minutes or so it'll blow a whole bunch at once and then stop. I'm wondering if I should get a new canister filter (Fluval 205) of a fluidized media chamber like MRC's FMC 415

I want something that I can put media in (carbon, purigen, phos-zorb) and something that will help with "polishing" my water. I have no room to put another piece of hardware in my sump so it would have to be stand alone or fed by a powerhead in my sump. Any thoughts or other ideas are welcome(Tim?). I'm in no rush. The amount of microbubbles currently being blown into my display not only looks bad but my fish run for cover whenever they get blown in.
