It's saltwater. That's what makes the bubbles super fine. Won't work in freshwater.
-
would this work with CO2?
-
Nice! try the MeshMod. It'll double the bubbles and make them smaller too.

I wish local fish stores would sell the "OTP 3000 Needle Wheel Pump"

that is awesome! that thing was stripping the tank of things I didn't know existed in the water and producing skimmate, pushing it right to the surface!

I's a time machine!

I bought the same pump, Octopus 3000 Needle Wheel Pump, but it doesn't generate as much bubble as shown in the video. The pump I used generates larger bubbles and less amount of bubble (about 25%) compare the one the video. Thorsky31, please share with us the modification you made to the pump to get that fine bubble result. I test the pump with fresh water. Did you add any type of water treatment to the tank?

Joe, that is the stock needle wheel. I've since tripled it's air intake with mesh and better venturi design but in that video it's stock. Are you testing in salt water? Fresh will give you big bubbles and lower SCFH.
