So basically this tank was set up last 2 weeks ago i transferred the old medias and some of the live rocks from my 55gallons going into a 120gallons and i dont know what are these cause i think it is the reason why my water is a little cloudy because of these microbubbles coming from the rocks im not sure if its diatoms or dino. there are a lot and im starting to worry would this subside?

Media does not play for me.

Did you rinse your sandbed before you put it in the tank?

Was the water clear on day one and then later became cloudy or was it cloudy from day one?

Micro bubbles can cause cloudy water. Typical source of bubbles can be from the skimmer or from the return pump or the two working together.

Otherwise microbial metabolism can lead to the formation of bubbles but not enough to cause clouds of air. Bacteria can bloom and form cloudiness in the water column but without an image it’s difficult to guess what you’re looking at.
