Here is a brief history on my set up. This is a brand new tank (180). I used some of the water from another tank that I have to help it cycle faster.
At first, I thought I was having problems with the microbubbles from the return pump. So I tried to eliminate all the possible leaks, raise the water level in my refugium to preven bubbles getting suck into the return pump, reduce all possible turbulences.
After all of that, I looked closer and realized the bubbles aren't really coming out from the return nozzles. It is actually just floating around my tank. I did some searching and the only thing I can think of, are nitrogen bubbles. I do have some larger air bubbles on the side of the glass and etc..But these micro bubbles are just floating around.
The tank has diatom growing on the back.
