I have a BioCube 29 running a stock return pump. When I first set the tank up there were micro bubbles for a few days as the skimmer broke in and then they went away. The water has been crystal clear up until last week. The stuff in the water looks like dust or debris of some sort, it is not round little bubbles, but more different shapes and sizes. I have done a water change thinking that mint help but it hasn't made a difference so far.

I had just chalked it up as part of the cycling of a new tank until I saw this post.
