Nano Bubble Injection

Sounds good Proteus. Keep a close eye on your corals if any have bubbles stuck to corals after the air goes off you will want to blow them off. Or perhaps move these corals to a part of the tank not getting bubbles. Air stuck on the coral's tissue can cause problems.

There are many corals that rarely touch air.

The ones living along the reef crest and reef flat are most tolerant of air. Acroporas are the most common in these areas from what I read.

I did read about lps able to get embolism... But I only keep acros. In talking to Cruz he stated that to start you do 10 hours a night for 3 nights then down to 5 hours a night.

It has been said that this method will get rid of nuisance algae, cyano, Dino's

I have a ton of flow so not a issue with bubble collecting

I would suggest getting a hold of Cruz Arias at elegant corals if you have any questions. He has been great taking me through this

I will need to rearrange my tank a bunch again before I start hitting it with bubbles. One of the Cyphastrea caught a few bubbles and it burned those spots a bit.

My tank has been through a lot lately: new lights, rock tear down, new fish. So once it settles down I will be doing more tests with bubbles. But I will wait until everything is stable again so I can see clearly the affects of the bubbles alone.

Will be interesting to see what they bring out and how it is received.

I'm seriously thinking about trying this. I already have a large airpump and stone. It wouldn't take very long to program my apex....


I'll be gone for 2-3 weeks, but when I get back could be a fun holiday experiment with 0 investment!

An updated recent article:

The article is a fairly balanced examination of the topic.

Again I urge caution when proceeding with Nano bubble experiments and observe your corals carefully.

I haven't been running nano bubbles and have nothing to add. Maybe I will revisit the idea again soon.
