It is normal for aquarium filters to form some bubbles. However, if your filter is producing more bubbles than it usually does, then it is a cause for concern.

Why is my fish tank air stone not working?

Rejuvenating Aquarium Airstones

Boil the stone in fresh water for 10 minutes, and allow it to air-dry again. Soak the airstone in a solution of one part household bleach to three parts fresh water (1:3) for 24 hours. Bleach has the advantage of both cleaning the stone and also disinfecting it.

Should fish tank filter be fully submerged?

Internal filters must be completely submerged in the water to work correctly. ... The air bubbles create much-needed movement in the water that allows it to filter the liquid throughout the entire tank. The filter can be affixed with suction cups to the tank walls, or placed on the ground of the tank.

How do I know if my fish tank has too much oxygen?

The signs of too much oxygen in a fish tank are bubbles escaping the surface and increased dissolved oxygen levels. Fish will also show abnormal swimming behavior, open mouth breathing, excessive appetite, or lethargy. If left unchecked for too long, it can be fatal to the fishes' health.

Why is my aquarium filter foaming?

Protein foam is the result of protein-based wastes coating small air bubbles, which causes them to stick together and form a "smelly" foam. ... If protein foam is present, it is an indication that the aquarium needs a good cleaning. Make sure the filter is clean, and remove any debris in the aquarium using a gravel vacuum.

Are air bubbles bad for fish?

Too much oxygen in water can lead to the potentially lethal gas bubble disease, in which gas comes out of solution inside the fish, creating bubbles in its skin and around its eyes. (Excess nitrogen, however, is a far more common cause of this disease.)

Should I turn off the bubbles in my fish tank at night?

So, if you have a really large fish tank and not too many inhabitants, sure, it is probably fine to turn the pump off at night.

Why do Airstones clog?
