So I recently started dosing SeaChem Stability and I just finished the initial seven days of daily dosing. There has been a lot of algae build up on my rocks, which I believe is a result of that dosing. I’ve been noticing though that my rocks are covered in bubbles. I assume it’s the rocks releasing nitrogen gas and having those gas bubbles trapped in the algae. What can/should I do about this? I’ve rubbed the bubbles and algae off multiple times now and they keep coming back.

The bubbles are possibly oxygen from increased algae growth. The bacteria additive probably has not done anything yet
