Bubbles coming off of algae
It was posted in another message about someone who saw bubbles coming off of
algae in their pond. I saw the same thing with some algae on the background of a concrete aquarium that I have outside curing. I have also seen this in planted aquariums where little bubbles were coming off of the leaves of plants. This happens when the water is completely saturated with oxygen and can not hold anymore of it. As the plants produce oxygen the oxygen can't dissolve so it makes bubbles that float to the top. Yesterday I tested my concrete tank where there were oxygen bubbles coming off of the algae. Sure enough the oxygen was at saturation point. With that said take a look at your algae in the sunlight and see if it's producing bubbles to see if your O2 levels are high. If they are and your water is under 95 degrees your pond is providing enough oxygen for your fish. At night though your oxygen levels will go down. I'd measure your oxygen levels with an O2 kit in the morning to make sure you are ok all around. Sam |
