    Hello all.
    I recently noticed what to me look like small air bubbles on the underneath side of LR.

    I researched Bubble Algae and all the pictures I found were of these green bubbles syst looking things. Mine simply looks like bubbles of air that got trapped.

    Does anyone know if Bubble Algae starts off this way or do I just have bubbles [​IMG]


    Thanks

    You probably just have bubbles. Do they move with the water current?

    Never saw bubble algae start off as clear. Run something through there & see what happens to them.

    Whew, I swept them away with a scrubber. I guess I took it too literal.

    thank All, Carry on.
