keithtanbb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 that is red slime algae is correct!, happens when that area is not circulated , allowing the algae to settle and form, will develop further and produce bubbles.Simple adjustment of yout water flow should reduce the problem,otherwise take the rock out and give it a good brushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
