also one more question during this "cycle" can i add another fish/coral (the reason im asking is cause i have been looking for a flame angel and noone has had any for about a month and a half and if i do see one i will be purchasing unless the algae posts a thread to my fishs well being
will my fish be in any health danger???ick????

I would hold off on buying any fish until you get your algae and bubble problems under control. As of right now if your fish are doing fine leave them be and just focus on getting your tank better. Any more fish right now may hurt you more than you realize. It is just an additional load on a system that is trying to catch up.

All I see is air bubbles attached to the diatoms on the glass and rocks.I don't see much micro-bubbles in the water column.Maybe it's time to add some snails.

microbubbles and a 2megapixel iphone cam well not quite a match made in heaven but yes for the most part its mainly bubbles on the diatom

as for the micros well i managed to get rid of them what happend was the return pump was somehow tilted and was getting a skim of air causing micros

[jcegt87]

i cleaned the lass and wiped the diatom off the glass overflow box and powerheads looks ALOT cleaner even toughgt tommorow it will prob look the same

Don't add anything while the tank is cycling.There really shouldn't be a shrimp and Lionfish in there during the cycle.

You have cyano algae. Algae/air bubble = cyano algae or cyano bacteria, how ever you wish to call it. Control is typical of algae control as in do water changes, syphon off what you can. Enough bubbles usually form that the algae seems to almost raise in a sheet from surfaces, so it is easy to siphon out of tank. Do not scrape back into tank. If you scrub glass wipe from bottom to top and take scrubber out of tank and rinse then repeat. If the problem persists or comes back you might want to consider changing light bulbs. Cyano like higher wave lenght lights, so stay with low wave length lights. Cyano will not grow under straight (420 nm) actinic lighting. Cyano is often a problem when using old light bulbs.

well side I've cleaned my glass it hasn't gotten back but I to notice it on the rocks still
so just use a turkey baster what if I point a ph to them will that also help
