Filter Sucking Up Air Bubbles Lol.

[Proxo]

I've got my fluval U3 internal sideways near the surface of the water,
today i moved the decor around a little and now the air curtain is kind of under the filter (a little).

Will the filter be okay?
it's releasing oxygen out of the 'spray bar' every now and again and that is pretty annouying though lol.

I'll prob move it again in a few weeks as i cba to get my hands wet again atm

Why? Or how.

Didn't knacker mine...I just moved my air bubbles out of the air through annoyance.

If air gets caught in the housing, it could do the same damage as if you ran the pump dry, its meant to be submerged

as said above, pump runs dry, motor burns out, impeller stops, filter = dead
