SamH Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 If the plants are new, it's common. Also, if you have sufficient CO2 and lighting to cause the plants to give off visible oxygen bubbles or "pearl" as it's also know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I will take this mistake with a grain of salt and leave it for the fish world to giggle at me for. What exactly are the JEWEL-like bubbles? what cause's them what do they do etc etc?

Plants are new, so cool :thup: does that mean i should lower lighting and CO2? or keep it the same. ( I am using purely only natural light as tank is sitting in a box window so thought why not give it a hoon. free lighting and heating??? :smln: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm talking hours old, are your plants only hours old? Only ever lower CO2 when the fish show signs of stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 2 maybe 3 daysish so not many hours old. sweet fish seem as happy as a kid with a lollipop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 It's oxygen which is a result of photosynthesis. Even after a year my low tech planted tank does this, but it also sits in full sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 i wonder if mine will do the same as is in plenty of sunshine. do you run lights over it or just use sunlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 sweet, cause thats what i am trying to achive, are you using a heater or useing solar energy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I have a heater in the tank and it goes on at night time .. turns off by itself during the day when it's hot enough. If it gets too hot I pull some curtains across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
