Microbubbles?

by jweb

What is meant by the term microbubbles? Why are they bad? I thought aeration is a good thing.

Microbubbles are just a biproduct of a poorly adjusted skimmer or a powerhead that is sucking a bit of air. They make a tank look hazy or cloudy. They are not bad at all, just unsightly.

Oh okay, I thought microbubbles might refer to tiny bubbles produced by a power head that has the ability to aerate the water with very fine bubbles.
