All,
I am having problems with tiny micro bubbles making it into my tank. My
problem seems to be in a reduction that I make from my pump to my outputs. 

Current Set Up: Iwaki 100 RLT reduced directly from pump to 2-half inch flex
tubes. The reduction is through a 1 inch T that is threaded onto the pump,
and then has the 2 reducers in the 2 ends of the T.   Those 2 half inch
reductions are then split various times to run various things. The left side
runs into my chiller and out to a sea swirl. It also has a split that right
now, runs nothing, but is going to run my chemical reactor. The right side
runs my skimmer and 2 outputs. 

I have checked as close a possible, and I don't see any bubbles making into
the pump from the sump. I have multiple bubble traps in my sump. It really
seems to be in the reduction. The more the outputs are opened, the more
bubbles. Then, I noticed that when I open them all up, the T makes a sort of
noise, where it sound like the water is being mixed and that is what makes
me think that is where the air is coming from...

Question is this. Does anyone else out there run big pump that is reduced in
line size to its outputs? If so, how do you do it to avoid these bubbles.

TIA

Shane C.
