When you see the bubbles, that's cyanobacteria mixed in.




yeah---its cyanobacteria time in my tank. What role does this stuff play?
What makes it and the Diatms go away?

thanks!


cyanobacteria is normally pretty easy to get rid of, reduce the desolved
nutriants in the water. If you have the constantly in one area of your
tank, you will need to increase the current so the detritus does not
settle out in that area.

But bubbles are not only cyanobacteria they can also mean dinoflagalets.
