how thick is the algae? certain kinds of algaes produce bubbles of oxygen that get trapped in their vegetative matrix,
Otherwise it's likely just micro-bubbles getting stuck to the irregular surface the algae creates on the glass. ETA: It's unlikely that the bubbles are oxygen that's precipitated out. Even at 100% saturation I don't think that happens. the bubbles are either coming from your water column and collecting on the glass, or they're being produced by the algae. Wass there a noticeable increase in the number of micro-bubbles in the water with the new skimmer? Last edited by asylumdown; 04-01-2011 at 06:46 AM.

no excessive microbubbles coming from the skimmer
"Otherwise it's likely just micro-bubbles getting stuck to the irregular surface the algae creates on the glass" i believe that is the most probable scenario.. the algae is a bunch of thin long hairs, one end sticking to the glass.
