Bubbles!!

[Griffin]

I had a seaclone on my first tank - the only way i got rid of the bubbles was to shut it off during the day and turn back on at bedtime. You could try putting something under the return but i had no luck - decided to go with a sump but that started a big ugly circle of - bigger tank -better lights - bigger skimmer - more rock etc etc etc
i doubt anyone here could relate to that lol

Are bubbles bad just cause they look bad or can they bother some corals?

Both.

Looks bad is self explanitory.

But when bubbles get caught under a coral (i.e. like under a monti cap), it basically makes an air pocket under there, so that little area is basically exposed to dry air.
