What are these bubbles in my tank?

[JLunaNJ]

Can someone tell me the cause of these bubbles. Seems after I started using a new HIPARGERO LED Aquarium Light this started appearing all over the tank. Is this cyanobacteria? If so best method to remove?

The bubbles are created from either algae or cyano growing. How old is your tank? I’m curious about the red on the rock and if that is cyano starting? If your tank is relatively young this is part of the ugly phase.
You can use a turkey vaster and blow the cyano off the rock and either siphon it out or carefully net it.

Definitly a cyano making the bubbles. Sypen it out, tank also looks fairly new. So it's probably still going through some cycles

Gas off from algae.
Siphon out the cyano every day or 2 and it should go away.
Right now dont see your tank having other things using the nutrients and light that the cyano is feeding on.

Agree with above.
Incidentally, the gas in those bubbles is almost pure oxygen.

Pre-stage algae. You can blow off with turkey baster and net or siphon up
Phosphate may be a tad high. . . . .. bUt definitely associated with new tank. What water are you using(Tap, RO, well)??
Both Chemi-clean and liquid Vibrant will help greatly in eradication.

Vibrant will work, eventually.

For me vibrant worked on my GHA, but caused all sorts of cyano issues. If you read the HUGE vibrant thread, it caused cyano for nearly every one using it.

Just keep an eye on phosphate and nitrate. Don't let them bottom out and you won't have a cyano problem with vibrant. At least that's works for me.

Coincidentally, my nutrients have spiked since using vibrant and taking my ATS offline(was .025 and 5ppm respectively, and since they have gone up to .13, and 20ppm). So bottoming out my nutrients was/is not an issue when I was using vibrant.

I attached a toothbrush to the hose and siphon through the filter sucks then change the filter sucks it took me like 2 weeks to get rid off diatom or any alga growing on walls rocks pumps .. work for me I hope this help
