Bubbles

[dabgood21]

I posted a thread a few weeks ago but I don't know what happened to it so I'll do it again

I have an unbelievable amount of tiny bubbles building up on corals and rock in my 50 gallon breeder reef tank. I can't figure out where they are coming from.

I use a Prizm skimmer but I'm almost positive it's not the skimmer. It all started when I upgraded my lighting to MH. Maybe they were always there and I never saw them because of the bad lighting. Could the heat from the lights be responsible somehow?

I'm about to take my skimmer and powerheads apart and clean them to try and figure this out, it's really making me mad :irked:

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Bacteria and algae is metabolizing your "bad" nutrients. It happened to my tank when upgrading my lighting and right before a big hair algae outbreak. Pretty much along those lines, but then again I'm a newbie. Might want to post some pics and parameters to be of help.
