White bubbles/foam - 05/09/17 11:56 AM
I started up the aeration a little early this year in hopes I could help the aerobic bacteria get a jump start on this spring's goose poop and last years decaying vegetation. I see white bubbles floating away from the diffuser boils. Some small amount of white foam stays after the aeration is shut down.
I found an old thread that seems to discuss something similar.

My questions are, is my small amount of white foam due to dissolved proteins and, if yes, will continued aeration eventually clear the problem?
