Not sure if this is the correct forum to post but I'm sure someone will correct me if it's not...

I have had a 60 gal tank for 6-7 years. I was using PC lighting and kept a few softies from time to time but have not really jumped into LPS or SPS. I recently got serious about adding some nice coral and knew I needed better lighting. I did a Linear LED DIY build, (thanks to Katchupoy), which turned out great! Since the LED's were added, bubbles have developed throughout the entire substrate. You can see the bubbles against the glass in the full depth of the substrate. The bubbles are on the live rock as well. It does not appear to be Dino, at least I hope not! The only change is MUCH better lighting. Nitrates 5, Phos 0, 1.025, pH 8.3, and I run GFO and carbon through a reactor. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks!
