Default Do you guys use micro scrubbing bubbles?

I have been micro bubble scrubbing for about 6 weeks now and am curious to hear the experience of others who are using this method

Hi, I guess this article can help you to determine whether micro scrubbing bubbles are good for your tank. I haven't tried to use one before, so I don't have an idea whether it is effective or not.

from what I have seen is most people use a lot more bubbles than that when doing it but your approach seems much more gentle

From my understanding of the theory you only want the nano/micro bubbles in your tank. It's hard to see in the video but there is a pretty good stream is these micro bubbles getting pushed in.

On a side The big bubbles can get trapped under rocks where the tiny ones don't seem to.
