Default Amazing bubbling of plants

yesterday my pl 55w bulb fused. Changed to a new piece and about 20 minutes later, can see my java fern bubbling alot of tiny bubbles..

i think is because of my old pl 55w bulb and another 30w fl light thats y nvr see much bubbling for a long time which i thought something went wrong. really nice to see it bubbling under new lighting

normally, its recommended to change tubes every 6 months. but try to stagger the changes. Eg, you have 4x36, then change 2 at a time.

with increased light internsity from new tubes, better watch over the co2 levels and nutrients. you wouldn't want to be found lacking in those or else algae may pay u a visit.
