Duke Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I have lots of air bubbles in my sand. Any ideas? I am only dosing vodka daily at 1ml / 100l Am also using Biotim and Bio Digest nothing else. I still have green slime but it is less than before. thanks for comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 it's cyano (or rather the bubbles are the byproduct of cyano) not a major so long as the cyano growth is not excessive. quite common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 How old is your tank? Only about 6 months? You still got about another 6 to go before all that crap really goes away.
