I built this reservoir, and upon testing... it seems impossible to get the stream of tiny bubbles to stop.

Any magic way to get trap them in the res? :) ... or do I have to take it apart and re-route the intake hose? :( (the intake is the long one) My setup wouldn't allow the outlet to be low on the res, so I had to use this hose-extension idea...

I have a feeling that I am going to have to take the top off, install a divider, and swap the reservoir inlet with the fill/bleed tube... Then I think it will work. *sigh* me = dumbass
I shoulda done that in the first place.
 
How strong is your pump? I was gonna use a hydor L30 320 GPH pump with a nice frozen cpu reservoir similar to yours but with a built in divider. When I got it hooked up the pump was jus too dang strong and no matter what I did the pump would shoot the bubbles right thru the res like nobodys business. I ended up jus going back to my old ahanix setup. I have 2 brand new frozen cpu reservoirs (diff sizes) if you are interested. I couldnt return them to the vendor because they were water cooling products :(
 
I built this one myself... out of a sheet of 1/4" acryllic.

Anyway... I took it apart, installed a divider, and a longer intake hose... and everything is working fine now. :D

I have an eheim 1250 pump, so yeah... water is movin damn fast.

There are still some VERY tiny bubbles traveling through the system, but they are so small, they are barely visable with naked eye. Before, the pump was making noise due to all the air.

w()()t!
 
I'm having the same problem with a Criticool Waterplant resevoir. Any ideas would be of great help. The water is just moving too fast through their to get the air bubbles trapped in the resevoir. The loop is full of air bubbles.
 
Tiny bubbles go away on their own. No need to worry. They just dissolve back into the water after a period of time.

You can try and trap them, but it is hard, and only makes them less noticable while they dissolve back naturally into the water. Not a big deal.
 
yeah as you heat the water the gases start to come out...it will all equalize eventually.
