micro bubbles

[Tigerpinoy]

Hey guys and gals been having some issue the last month in my tank. Been having micro bubbles on some of my rocks and I can't seem to figure out where's it's coming from or to get rid of it.when the moon sitting is on it disappear when when lights is at it's optimal it flares but I've have my lights setting over a year now(led IT2080). All my perimeters are good just my phosphate is a lil high. been doing water changes every week for the past 3 weeks. Any suggestions would be much appriciated

Is it green algae bubbles? Odd if they go and come based in lighting.

Algae starting to take off
I deal with this alll the time

Kick up refugium lighting to more than tanks main lighting hours
If no sump ect... bio pellets or GFO will remove phosphates

[Tigerpinoy]

It's clear. I got gfo running I'll work on the digest light

Fuge *

[jkennedy1007]

Make sure to change out GFO as well
it will seap phosphates back in when exhausted.
I've had better results with Bio pellets on no fuge aquariums

Add more macro algae and light to fuge IMO
should balance out in next month and receive better results

What he said.
Algae and Cyanobacteria both photosynthesize giving off oxygen as a by product. more light more oxygen more bubbles.

Been using rowa phos and changing it every 2 months

your doing it right.

Better flow so it doensn't stick and shorter light cycle. Maybe overfeeding,(guilty here) or a new food? Nothing to sweat though. If it bugs you, vacuum it off with a siphon tube and follow above advice. AS JK said should balance out in the next month.
