Do you have a Deep Sand Bed. I had quite a few bubble coming out of my DSB on my initial tank as crabs and fish would make their way through it. If you don't have that much sand then I am thinking bubbles from your sump or skimmer are getting into the tank.

Nop no DSB. No sump. No skimmer. My hob refugium do generate some bubbles. The problem has been solved actually. I changed the flow a bit and that cause the bubbles to settle in. Things are now fine (as was before with the bubbles)

Haha yah. The ocean is filled with micro bubbles. I don't know why people say it can kill corals!

its from your new lights and the extra amount of photosysnthesis that is happening with your increased par

will dissappear as the bulbs age

cheers

Ah that makes sense. Thanks Denny

So does that mean when the bubbles are gone; I need to change the bulbs or something?
