Little bubles on live rock?
Does anyone have this going on? I have 300 pounds of base rock and about 50 pounds of LR and only the LR have it?

just to clarify a bit more... during the morning hours not that many appear, but when the lights go off it is covered with hundreds of these little bubbles.

It might just be nitrogen bubbles from the ANN cycle. Or if you have cyanobacteria, they will make bubbles.

Yes your right I do have cyno!!!!! I thought when I took it out of my other tank The new water would kill it... I took off the layer of red crap off of it. Will it go away since I have only about 50 pounds of cyno rock in?

Yikes! Any cyano will lead to ... more cyano!
I found a product called Chemi-clean (NOT chemi-PURE) that will kill the cyano and apparently leave everything else alone. Actually, my tank did much better after the cyano was gone, so any harm done by chemi-clean is minumal compared to what that smothering layer of cyano will do! It will make you skimmer go crazy, and you have to be ready to do a 20% water change in the next day or so BUT it's worth it to get rid of the cyano. You should make your tank cyano-unfriendly to keep the cyano away, but it helps to knock it dead first so that it can't get a foothold again. V
