Air bubbles problem

I have a 34G red sea max, it has 25lbs LR, 10 Lbs rock, and it seems it has a very small mount of sun light hitting the corner. I determined this today. It has 2 chromis and that is it. Is has only been going for two weeks, Nitrates, Nitrites, Amonia, and Phosporous is all 0, but there is brown diatoms, and green algea, covering the glass and rock. I have eliminated the sunlight, but ther is bubbles that are all over the tank, on the rock, glass, substrate, everywhere. I can move my hand around and release all if the bubbles, but within 1 hour, they are everywhere again, The pumps are not blowing bubbles out, so I don't know where the are coming from.
Also, if the parameters are all good and the tank is no longer getting sun, will the diatoms and green algea go away, or will I have to get rid of it mechanically, will some cleaning crew help this?

I had the same thing happening with my 40 gal and the bubbles, and I think they should go away. I had the bubbles in a previous tank too and eventually went away after the cycle. The cleanup crew should eat all the algae no problem if you have enough snails and hermits to clean it all up. I cleaned the algae off part of the glass and let my snails do all the rest.

Still cycling. Just one of the stages. Your tank will never completely stop cycling, but you should see everything stop changing so much within the first two months. Good luck!
