Bubbles On Top Of My Fish Tank

[Bluegill]

For some reason a day after I set-up my 55 gallon native tank all of these bubbles started to appear at the top of the surface about a half inch now. Anyone know how I can get rid of these?

did u try getting some extra surface movement ??

I got an aerotor disk in the middle of the tank and it seems that it is just making more bubbles.

Do you use a slime coat product? That can do it.

I used Aqua Safe. Should I just drain the water out and re-clean it or will the bubbles disapear?

 

[frasertheking]

it can mean you have excess nutrients and disolved organic matter so try doing small water changes over a few days and that might help

Ok, thanks frasertheking.

That has slime coat in it, that's what is causing the bubbles. Don't use that crap anymore, use Prime. No bubbles, and it is cheaper per dose because it is more concentrated.

Prime, do they sell that at Petco or Petsmart?
