So about a month ago, I picked up a bag of cheato to add to the back middle chamber of my biocube 14. I took out the bioballs and have a bunch of live rock rubble back there. I just basically put the cheato on top of it. Everything was okay, but during my last water change about a week ago, I noticed that a lot of 'stuff' is starting to get stuck and build up in the cheato. I just left it alone, but then yesterday I was checking on it, and I noticed that there are big bubbles back there (maybe 5?). They're about the size of 1/8" to 1/4". I popped them and then this evening when I checked again there were a couple more. What are the bubbles and why are they happening? Is it normal for 'stuff' to get stuck in the cheato? Should I take it out? Replace it?
I also just checked my water. Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are all basically 0. Maybe a tiny bit of ammonia, but definitely not 0.25. I don't have any fish, just crabs, snails and a few corals. The tank is almost 3 months old.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
