Not really, that is not the aim of this method anyway. Even if some people noticed it, is likely to be attributed to something other than micro scrubbing.
I will try to regurgitate some information. The wooden air stones don't produce more nano bubbles with more air volume flowing through them. Nano bubble production is based off of pressure. The needle valve allows you to open up the air pump to increase pressure, but then reduce flow via the needle valve. It can be done without the needle valve, but with it is better.Wondering, what is the point of the needle valve? I understand it's to adjust how much air is going into the air stone, but why not just run it full blast?
Think I'm gunna give this a try. See what happens

Certainly. I'll link them tonight when I get home from work.I'm liking the sounds of this. Any chance you got before pics of your tank when you started the three day process?
Mine was a bit higher also, but it didn't effect my ATO much. I heard it kick on several times last night and even once this morning while I was getting ready for work.I just started to do this last night, but I didn't have a needle valve and just placed an order for one. One thing I noticed was the level in the return was higher than normal while I was making the nano bubbles.
first, run it with the lights on so you can see the size and amount of the bubbles. What kind of air stones are they?Interesting! I already have a couple airstones in the sump I was using when I dosed dr. tim's waste away. Maybe I'll hook these up onto my Apex and run them at night as a test.

The wooden air stones are recommended to produce the super small nano bubbles.
Why would this not add to the reduction in nitrate and phosphate the micro bubbles are removing more debris from the DT / water column and aiding in skimmer production.
I have been adding NoPox from red sea with not much luck but, once I set a RW-8 to drat in air and blast it down at a 45* it started to do the job. The skimmate took off and my Nitrates started to come down.
