Hi guys,
I've got small bubbles coming from my substrate. Not a lot but its definitely happening.
I've got a fairly thin layer of white coarse substrate which was a bad move as it has now turned green.
Is it possible for algae to pearl? I've got some of my plants pearling which is good but I didn't think algae would do it.
As soon as it started happening I was worried it was dead spots giving off nasty gas so I gave the substrate a good vac but a few days later and the bubbles started again. There's no smell or anything, fish seem happy.
It's a new 400l tank, it's been running since the end of November, low tech, dirt islands with some white sand round them.
Cheers,
Col
