What is this???

[arthurk0722]

There seems to be an "attack" of air bubbles in my tank. They primarily on my live rocks and on the 2 filter outlets. What could they possibly be? Should i be concerned? When i look straight at them they seem clear but on an angle they have a silver color type to them. They are just on the rocks and not on the sand. So i dont think its cyano. (hopefully not).. Any ideas?

The tank has been running for about 3-4 weeks now.

Its been up about 3 weeks (maybe a little longer.) I am using rodi water. Im not using tap water from the faucet but i have "filtered" water that i take it from to put it into the tank.

I did all the water tests for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and the results turned out good. So im not really sure

Nothing to worry about your tank is going tru the cycle if u ran your lights over the tank during the cycle that is the outcome . Not using Rodi could be it as well .
Best thing to do is kill the light and alergy will die of get a skimmer going after the cycle is done .
How did u cycle the tank ? Is there anything live in there ?

I meant to say that i did use rodi water. lol.
I had live rocks in the tank for a week or so then i purchased 2 percula clown fish and last tuesday i bought a diamond watchman goby. But at the beginning of the cycle i had 5 live peices of rock

WAY too soon for fish, dude.

Fish are after the cycle (5-6weeks). What are your Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite levels?
