One of my Chromis got pop-eye for no apparent reason. Only thing that has changed is recently is that I added a new pump - Reeflo Dart Hybrid. I have it valved back and the pump is sucking a lot of bubbles from the skimmer (until I get the new sump plumbed in).

Does anyone think that the pump can be the cause or does anyone have another idea. The rest of the tank is fine.

    It can happen when a fish rubs its eye on a rock accidentally. They can heal on their own, with a healthy diet and no more abrasions. The pump isn't the cause.

    When a fish has Pop-Eye it occurs in both eyes not just the one. When you see one eye that it bigger than the other or clouded over, it usually happens because of the fish running into something.

    It is only one eye for sure and yesterday I actually saw a bubble come out of the eye. Fish is still eating well but it sure looks scary.
