Can anyone tell my why I have these bubbles collecting around this thing? Not sure what its called but I have them around that and my birds nest... They are clear. Doesn't look green like bubble algae. So I'm assuming its oxygen? Am I being overly cautious on things?

It's just on these two things and a little on LR... It's kind of weird. There's no bubbles entering the system. Don't understand where these guys are coming from

Is the red stuff slimely? Looks like red slime Cyanobacteria. does it come off easy. If so put them in a bucket with tank water and remove it turkey baster or tooth brush lightly.

Hmm I didn't think about that. I was more concerned over the bubbles around it. But come to think of it the three objects with the bubble problem all have that red look. I thought they just came that way.

Going to go over it with a toothbrush . Doesn't seem like any of my rock have it. But then again these things were in the 30 gallon while the rock stayed in a Rubbermaid tote. We had the light pretty close so maybe that was too much lighting for it so it bloomed somehow. Not sure.

Haha... Thanks!

I'm still working on it. Just figuring this stuff out. Wondering if I'll make it out alive. But the fish are doing great! Everyone is in good shape. Pretty happy. It's going to be a while before I start putting more rock. Deff want to put a lot more in there. So maybe little by little.

thanks for all your help! I really appreciate it.
