The water coming into the aquarium is coming out quickly, probably 500 GPH
out of all 3 outlets. I don't think its coming from the surface. All the
outlets are a bit under, and I don't see any "whirpools" or anything that
would indicate air coming in from the surface. Also, bubbles are coming from
all 3 outlets, which indicates that it has to be somewhere at the pump. I
don't see any water dripping though.
I guess a question for everyone is, if you have air coming in, don't you
generally have water coming out? I have hose clamps on all my flex tubing,
in and out, as well as Teflon tape, on all threads and PVC glue and silicone
on all non threaded pieces. I don't see any salt creep or water dripping
from any of my connections, in or out.
Any more suggestions anyone?
TIA
Shane C.

How fast is the water coming out into the aquarium? Is the outlet
close to
the surface? Could it be sucking air from the surface? Also, check
your
pumps inlet. Is it close to the surface? Is it sucking air there?
Good
luck!
