To my dismay, upon examination of brown wavy sludge coating on a small piece of base rock today, where tiny clear round bubbles - this immediately sounded the Dinoflagellates alarm. I took the rock out and quarantined it since it only is appearing on that rock. The clear bubbles actually popped when I took a small needle to it - I thought initially it might be bubble algae, but it wasn't since it popped like that.
I took out the microscope, and took 2 samples of the brown sludge - under the scope there was nothing moving to be found, so I'm assuming it's not diatoms or dinos since they'd be moving correct? I did another sample trial and same result.
Where these just air bubbles then, and I'm assuming this brown soft sludge like material is just some form of algae?
