Tiny Bubbles

Gregthos · 01/17/2008, 05:40 PM

A little help? My tank is about a year old and recently everything is covered with tiny air bubbles? Part of wants to just get in there and start wiping everything off. I haven't has a problem until recently. I have a 46G Bow Front running a Cascade cannister filter and two power heads.

Check to see if the bubbles are coming out of the cannister return. My old cannister would do this intermittantly if it needed cleaned.

I called it my cleaning timer... lol

Are the bubbles forming on the glass and rock, or is there tiny bubbles (not in your wine...) floating around in the tank? sometimes algea will start to grow on the glass and rocks and start to produce bubbles...
