Equipment & Supplies • Do I have enough filtration or do I have a problem?

[joekb2yhs]

Just a quick question. I have a 55 gal. moderately stocked. I am running an Emperor 400 and a Fluval 203 Canister. I have what looks like very small fine bubbles floating in the water. Do I have enough mechanical filtration? Is the small white bubble looking things a parasite or something? This is my first African setup and I'm not sure what the problem is. PH is 8.0 and I am doing 20% water changes weekly. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

if you turn off all the filters altogether do the bubbles dissapear...in which case it is just micro bubbles.

they are probably from your emperor filer, my penguin 350b does the same thing. its really kind of annoying.
