Large air bubbles?
I have developed large air bubbles at one end of tank, it seems to be preying along with a green algae. I am not sure what it is and how to treat??

These are actual air bubbles that will float to the surface once and a while. I watched a video on YouTube but mine looks different.
I will try to get a picture.

It does, but only if they're not actual bubbles.

If they're actual air bubbles, it's probably nitrogen OR air that was contained within the rock and is escaping. Is the tank newly set up?

Touch one. That'll tell you exactly what it is. If its firm then it its bubble algae. My friend has bubble algae that looks just like what you have. Same color and everything

There are some critters that eat that stuff so you can get rid of it

This tank is running for three months now, and the bubbles are not hard.

That looks to be either cyano with air trapped in it or possibly even dinoflagellates. Can you get a better picture?
