Re: [APD] Canisters, etc. -- or - bubbling to see you every day

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

Hmmmm.  Well, it could be your filter needs cleaning.  as 
the media clogs, a canister can draw more gas out of the
water, helping to create a bubble under "the hood."

Bubbling from the plants could be collecting once inside
the filter, especially if it needs to be cleaned ;-)  .

And of course, there  could be be an air leak around the
o-ring.

A combination fo the plant bubbling and either or both of
te other two could make for the diurnal gurgle.
