bubbly water, need advice

[Johnny V]

Hey, maybe this is a dumb question, but... My water is oxgenated to the point of looking cloudy, it's filled with tiny bubbles. Will this affect a) my plants B) my cycling c) my feederfish (i know i should have gone with the fishless cycling, but it's too late now, and im a huuugggeeee newb so i figured simple was best) I'm sure amonia levels are sky high right now, but despite this, my fish (even my pleco) seem fine and thriving. I was wondering if it had something to due with the massive amounts of plants in there or maybe the tons of oxgen? Thanks in advance -John

Are you sure it's bubbles and not a bacterial bloom making the water cloudy?

 

[Johnny V]

yes, positive. One hundred percent. Good thought though.

 

[Johnny V]

Any answers?

It's a bacteria bloom, if your tests are sky high, i would recommend a water change,how big is the tank.

I know it's not a bacteria bloom. When I pull the oxygenizer out of the water the bubble go away instantly. When I put it back in, they come back. You can see the bubbles come and go with the coming and going of the oxygen thingy. Unless there are oxygenically photosensitve bacteria that I dont know about (I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm a newb and dont know anything[well, a little sarcastic]), it is oxygen bubbles. It's not like it's hard to see through or anything, there are just tons of little bubbles floating around. I haven't tested the water yet, so I don't know if the tests are high, im only assuming they are cause it is in the middle of being cycled. But I guess it is safe to assume that the oxygen can only be beneficial, right?

Not so for plants..............they need co2 in the water to thrive
