Weird Tiny Air Bubbles...

[IsaacMTSU]

These bubbles have started sticking around my tank for a week or two...I'm not sure what keeps them from dissolving? What causes this...?

i got those when i set up my new tank and they went away after a day or two
what might keep them from going away is if they are stuck in the algae or if they are the gas being released by the algae if the light is strong enough
to the best of my knowledge they are not harmful

it looks like air bubbles to me, nothing wrong with them. it is just the plants photosynthesizing, but i could be wrong with them being air bubbles

Yeah they are definitely air bubbles, but why are they all of a sudden sticking to everything in my tank...? The aren't wade by the plants, they are floating all through the tank, but now they have started sticking to the glass, rocks, etc. I know they are not problem, just wondered why they stick around?

Did you do a water change or add water before you took these pictures? After a water change, the new water is full of gasses and after a couple hours, they show up as bubbles.

I noticed that I got bubbles all over my tank also today.
Most all my plants are covered in them and I never had this before.
I been doing a 4 gallon water change once a night for the last 3 days.

algae..many of the surfaces of your tank will support algaes.
