Cycling a new nano tank and I’m getting foam and lots of bubbles on top of the water column why I did a fishless cycle with dr Tim’s ammonia and bacteria in a bottle oh and my rocks are starting to get a fuzzy white substance on them

Would you post a picture of the white fuzz and the foam under white light?

Looks like the system is growing bacteria. Could the foam be a result of the bacteria growth? This would be unusual for a system with no organic material (e.g., fish food) being added

What bottled bacteria did you use and what is the ammonia level?

I’m using Dr. Tim one and only and ammonia as well levels of ammonia are below 5ppm

I had a similar experience starting my tank on a smaller scale though. I just blew off the white fuzz with a turkey baster, and left the bubbles alone. The problem fixes itself.
