Dinos

So no bubbles when lights first come on around noon. By 8 pm there's dozens of clear bubbles. Some have string attached to them.they come and go from day to day. Possible trapped air bubbles?

Could be a minor dino thing yes.
Could be cyano. Don't sweat it to much.

Pics arent the best. Hopefully it passes with no problems. Probably dose some chemclean

I wouldn't use an antibiotic so soon in a new aquarium. If it's a dino it won't work anyway.

I don't see anything in this pics that could be IDed.

Hard to see. If I knew how to circle it I would

Can you try to take new pics that are more in focus? Maybe camera (especially if it's a phone) is too close to the tank? It's ok if you take a step back, newer phones have nice resolution.

I dunno if you're running multiple tanks, but it appears that this is the second thread you've opened wondering about dino's.

FYI, there's a sticky thread on dino's now which has a test you can do to see if the are dino's or not. No special equipment needed.

A usable microscope only costs about $10, BTW....details on that also in the dino sticky if you want to take a closer look! A scope is highly recommended whether you have dino's or not.

You can also get a look on that thread to see what typical conditions are for a dino bloom – so you know whether dino's are likely to bloom in the first place based on your tank conditions.

Good luck!

I'm assuming you have to put a bubble under microscope?

No. Here's the linked sticky thread from this forum:
Dinoflagellates – Are You Tired Of Battling Altogether?

Check out the section on ID. The first part you can do with no special equipment.
