Bubbles all over rocks and glass???

Is having bubbles all over my rocks and glass a sign that Im coming down with cyano? I just did a water change (25%) twice within one week and running phosban with undetectable phosphates, nitrates, and everything else checks out fine.. This is stressful..

 

Its prob just micro bubbles getting into your main tank. Take a really close look at your returns and if you have an in-sump skimmer or at the skimmer output if its a HOB for tiny bubbles passing through.

Hmm. I the water in my return area was low and it was sucking bubbles into the pump, but they are still there after topping off. I dont get it, they keep coming back..

 

possibly left with air trapped in the pipework due to low levels sometimes it takes ages to clear completely - if you put a sponge pad around or filter sock on the exit of your return this will diffuse/ reduce the bubbles that travel around you DT

They will stay for a while. You could manually remove them with a toothbrush or a powerhead or just wait for them to dissipate on their own. Just make sure its not bubble algae your removing.

It seems like it is bubble algea.. It kind of makes air sacs instead of bubbles, and they are sucked away with a siphon in clumps.. I think im about to face a big problem..

I hope these help.. I have to leave for 5 days tomorrow and my friend who is topping off water knows nothing of how to help the situation.. I guess Im almost desperate to figure this out..
