and cyano too.
Thats oxygen produced by Photosynthesis, in either case.
It believed that is actually why there is oxygen on earth. Massive cyanobacterial colonies(my favorites are stromatolites) covered the planet billions of years ago and produced oxygen as byproduct. o2 is much more easily used by many organisms so many adapted to use it and produced a massive bloom of life.
so the incredible diversity of life on earth was spurred into being by feeding on cyano farts.

Dinos, cyano, and diatoms. I'm confused haha.
I always figured it was diatoms but then it started getting the bubbles.
6 Months old. I just added a few new corals. And did a 50% water change. Maybe it was the water change? Changed out my polish filter and removed some chaeto. Then probably a day or two later this appeared.
Hopefully the fart bubbles can raise my PH. Oxygen is suppose to help right? =]

Idk if it matters but my refugium was mixed up a bit and I used a tooth bush and cleaned a lot of the tank yesterday. Not sure if that could've sparked anything either. Like I said I just noticed the bubbles today. Yesterday I mixed some of the sand up (not sure if that is bad either...). A few days ago I changed the rocks around (didn't add or remove any) due to new corals needing a place away from the lights.
yup. some folks call it a mini cycle, but basicly you just stirred up some food. itll pass.

Good news!!:))
I started looking up dinos and saw how long they lasted.. all the way until the great water change ;) made me kind of nervous. Especially because a friend gave me corals I didn't want those to die on me haha. "Hey how are they doing?" "Ya....." not today :)
