Yes – definitely not awesome. I have a 30 gallon that has been up and running for one year. I came home for a quick vacation and found this everywhere – I'm afraid I'm actually losing a few corals- it's very sad
Two things I know of. First is dino. Second is air leaking into return from the sump. Do you see tiny air bubbles in your water coming out of the return?
If you have an airleak on the pump, try resealing it or replacing the tube. Or try to prevent bubbles from getting into the water that reaches the pump.
Looks like dino to me though. But that is a heck of a lot of bubbles. Do you have a wavemaker? Waterflow prevents them from sticking around, and they float to surface and out of tank.

You can get bubbles forming on algae. The bubbles are oxygen produced during photosynthesis. I have not seen anything as extreme as what you show there. But if you have a lush algal growth, enough light, and nutrients, it could happen.

Its a qt he can pull his tang from the main i don't know anyone who dose not have at least one tang .. then put it back in display ... no lights sure ... But if you kill it all the alge with no lights seemes like it might throw off the chemistry a little....am I wrong honestly I don't know not trying to be smart or anything ...
aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhDoes anyone know what may be causing this?
have you considered a small reboot? dip the rock in a peroxide solution and scrub and rinse well. clearly there's not good filtration or funky rock to begin with.
If you used meds in the tank you may have some killing or killed the good stuff in the tank and creating the funk source.
My remora was pretty much junk. 3 bad skimmers and im done with those on nanos. honestly never had a prob with an aquaclear with tanks under 30 gal.
