    What does it mean when you have tiny little bubbles on your live rock not many just started to notice.

    Sound to me like your Live Rock is "Live"
    Nitrite being converted to Nitrate will produce small bubbles.
    It could also be the beginning of your first algae bloom
    which is inevitable so I guess both things are good

    Pita Valonia is commonly called Bubble Algae. Look in the algae forum for a pic
