Air bubbles from my live rock?

[Phlipper]

Hey what does this mean? Are the air bubbles coming from my live rock nitrates being converted to nitrogen bubbles or O2? Or what? It’s a fairly steady process coming off a quite porous 9 pound piece of live rock

Looks like the rock is still soaking up water, how long has it been in ?

It’s been in my tank for almost 6 weeks but it’s always been wet

I have a feeling new rock in a new tank?
Other causes Would be nitrogen exchange, or return emitting fine bubbles and entering crevices. If rock has no coral life yet on it, lift it and agitate it to release any air bubbles and see if stops

Ya my tank is only 6 weeks old, but the rock was from a lfs that said it was fairly aged

They are pretty small
