Hi,

So I filled my 37 Eclipse tonight. Just curious why there is so much bubble buildup on the sides of the tank, and how long it might take to see this minimized.


Thanks!
SM

it is probably just air trapped in the tiny groves and crevices in the glass. even glass is not 100% smooth, and there are places that air can catch on to. after filling up the tank once it should go away. just take an algea scraper or your hand and go voer the sides of the tank if you want to get rid of them.

It is just the the water degassing from being under pressure. It will dissipate.
