We just bought a 29 Gal tank that came with a Top Fin 30 Power Filter and we also bought a Top Fin Air Pump XP-60 (recommended by store personnel) to run the two decorations we bought for the tank. We are on our second day of letting the tank stabilize and haven't added any fish yet but I have a ton of those little bubbles all over everything in the tank. Is that normal? Will it go away when we get some fish? I need to know before I add fish to the tank.

Welcome to Fishlore.

Those little bubbles are common when you add a lot of water to a tank. It's harmless and usually those bubbles dissipate within a few days.

Do you have a testing kit? The API master freshwater kit is the best for accurate results. I would recommend that you cycle the tank before adding fish.

Welcome to Fishlore. I agree with COBettaCouple. Those tiny bubbles are harmless. But do let the tank cycle first. Or if you're too excited to get your fishes, perhaps you can try Bio-Spira. Regarding on how to use it, you can ask the friendly people here. I've not tried Bio-Spira so I've no idea on how to use it though. Good luck to your fish keeping hobby.

the tiny bubbles. that is just trapped air from where you put the water in. it will go away soon.i had it with my tank when i first put the water in, then after a few days it went away.
