micro bubble?

[125tank]

Hi guys, any input on these bubbles? i tried to syphon them out on every WC but as soon as they are sucked out, new ones are built up they're not really a big deal, doesnt seem to damage anything but it would be great not to have them at all. Thanks!

Thats is cyano off gassing due to photosynthesis, check your phosphates, get hold of that stuff before it takes over.

you sure know your stuff Thanks for the input! i do run phosphate but would too much flow into the reactor can also be an issue?

You want to run the reactor at the given flowrate. if its a phosban reactor the FR is 20-30 gph. You want to make sure that it flows evenly through the media. It is important no to overfill the chamber aswell. syphon out the cyno with a turkey baster being carefull not to spread it. Also check your flow in that area as it could be too low. Good luck

Cheers,

It could also be dino's but dino's would be everywhere... I'm only saying that because I never had bubbles in my cyano battles...
