    Ok, how much longer should it take to show?? So far I have seen no algae and the bubbles aren't as bad as before. You think I'm in the clear by now?? It's been a week now since I've had the upgraded lighting.

    Yeah Im having the same thought and the same problem if your bubbles are clinging to the surface of rocks and glass ad or substrate its more than likely the start of a cyano problem which could be cause by the increase in lighting since you got the new stronger lights. Im currently treating my tank with UltraLife Red Slime Remover. Ill let ya know how that goes if indeed that is your problem.

    So, the bubbles went away and I didn't see any algae. I did have a small patch of what I thought was cyano but was actually a new pink sponge that popped out of no where! :D But I have since then transfered to a bigger tank...
