Kind of hard to tell from pictures, does it look more like sand getting kicked up or like small air bubbles?
I have the air bubble look in only 1 of my tanks, none of the others have it. Im not sure whats causing it tbh but i kinda just got used to it. Its pretty heavily stocked tanks but lots of plants. No amount of water changes fixes it.
If its sand i would just shut the filter and any air stones off for a while and let it settle.
Honestly i think its the same thing i have, I haven't found a fix at all, water changes don't do crap. Its got tons of java moss, java fern and floating plants and it still looks like that. None of my others have the problem either.
Just put some floss in the filter.

You have a lot of bubbles being produced in your tank and the surface has a lot of residual air bubbles along the water line. I would turn off the bubblers for an hour and see if you have the same problem. It's hard from the picture to tell if it's bubbles or solids. You could grab a pint glass of the tank water and put on a flat surface and observe. If the 'dust' rises slowly leaving the bottom of the water clear then your have micro bubbles. If the opposite happens and the 'dust' sinks then you have solids. It might give you a clue towards the solution.
They are bubbles. Thanks for the help But they don't burst when they hit the surface. What should I do?
