Last night I used a powerhead to suck the detritus out of my sump. When I did this, I sucked out five gallons of water and ran my return chamber really low. My pump sucked a bunch of air and put tons...I mean tons...of bubbles in the DT. I had my head down in the sump so I really didn't notice. I had filter socks on between chambers, so I don't think any detritus made it to the DT.
When I looked up, my scrips acro was dumping slime. Tons of slime. It was flying all over the tank for a couple of minutes until the returns took it away. About two hours later, it looks great, with more PE than I've ever seen it with, maybe better than it has ever looked in my tank (I've only had it for about a month). So is this slime caused by the air bubbles or any detritus I might have sent to the dt?
I assume it is not a good response? Is it bad, really bad, or nothing to worry about? Anything to be done?
