I have noticed recently that I have a lot of bubbles in my tank that are getting stuck to the live rock.

This is a 10g nano reef

I have a 3-4in. DSB and I disturbed a little part of it and bubbles started coming out. Are these nitrogen bubbles? I have only had the tank setup for about 3-4 months so I'm kinda surprised if the anaerobic bacteria is already starting to grow.

I got some Caulerpa Prolifera last week so I wasn't sure if the bubbles were also coming from the caulerpa pearling.

Could the bubbles be a combination of both? I also see a bunch of bubbles stuck to the LR, could this just be from the bubbles blowing around?
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
