i have a outer orbit 560w halide light. the 2 halide bulbs are 150w each and 2 130w actinic bulb's have had it for 2 week and when i first got it i left the lights on for way to long. i now have my lights on a better schedule but the damage is done. after 1 hour with halide lights on my tank fills with micro bubbles and they stick to everything. when i turn off the halides the bubbles start to go away but they stay where there is algae. there is no leaks in the filter system, protein skimmer is off and i have the light 6 inches above the tank. so my question is could this be algae or gas exchange causing all of these bubbles and how should i run all of the lights to get them to stop.
