Ohhhh ok. It is probably just 'new tank' syndrome. Cynobacteria... bleh! The bubbles are oxygen that the algae creates during photosynthisis.

In summary, there are several things that you can do to rid your tank of nuisance algae, and most of them are probably good ideas anyway. Listed below is a recap of those items:


Protein skimming
Maintenance animals
Increased flow
Feed lightly
Vacuum substrate or bottom
Harvest algae
Stop adding supplements
Regular water changes
Use RO/DI water
Top-off with Kalkwasser
Regular bulb changes
If you implement these things, you can say cyano-ra to nuisance algae.
