    If you look back at my threads you can see the problems I've had. But this is a new one. I came home from work to hundreds of bubbles in my tank connected to the rocks. Some come off and float up to the surface. Some don't budge or pop. What is this

    Sounds like the start of either cyano or dinoflagellates.

    dinoflagellates are a PITA but they really don't do much harm, just increase flow temporarily but mainly add more to your CuC

    Cuc= clean up crew, I don't know of anything that eats dino's. Raising your mag to 1500-1550 and reducing your lighting schedule will help.
