So far the last few months i have been dealing with this in my tank. I have air bubbles all over my rock work. For some time i thought it might be dinos forming cause i have alil bit on my sand bed and i thought that maybe it just spread, but these dont ever form the string brown snot that comes along with dinos. They blow off the rocks with a turkey basters and just seem to disappear into the water or down the overflow. i know i have issue that im trying to get under control like cyano. i checked water parameters yesterday and Nit 2ppm and Phos .01ppm. You can see the bubbles in the picture covering the rocks any help or thoughts would be appreciated. I should add the tank is just alill a year old started with all dry rock/sand.

What is the TDS coming out of your RODI unit? Is it zero and have you checked the water you make for silicates?

I guess I'll have to get my hands on a microscope to be sure.

Yep,

Easy test , remove a sample of that ( hair shape) use a feeding pipette , put in one drinking plastic cup , mix aggressive , the wait few min.
If , they reform in same shape , most like it is Dino.
I got scope , text me 347-491-0417 ( Vio).
