Bubbles on glass

[Wenty]

Ok I just filled my new tank and there are a lot of bubbles on the inside of the tank..... I'm guessing they will dissipate ??? I just put some Prime in and will be starting the cycling.

Also should I leave the lights on when cycling or does it not matter ???

the bubbles will dissipate eventually, happened to me when i started both my tanks and they slowly but surely dissapeared, though they wouldn't do any harm anyway. as for the lights, unless you have live plants in the tank just now there is no need for them to be on.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure.

no problem , what are you planning on putting in your tank and how big is it?

It's a 55 gal. here's a pick before I put in the water and plants yesterday...http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/new-55-gal-build-123243.html

I don't know yet what I'm going to do. I was thinking Discus but I think I'll go back to the angel fish, gouramis, tetras thing.

Discus might not have much room after putting in my fake plants.

The bubbles are just oxygen from the waters aeration when getting in the tank, the bubbles just stick to small minute little itty bitty imperfections in the glasses surface.

Most new pieces of glass will get bubbles on them when you put water on them.
