Tank is entering the ugly stage and has started getting air bubbles on the rock and some at the surface. Is this normal?

Air bubbles is pretty common with dinoflagellates

Absolutely normal. Give it time. It will go away.

Kill the lights specially the whites and lower intensity as Dino’s feed of lighting. Introduce beneficial bacteria 25-30mls depending your tank size and keep phosphates and nitrates healthy, it’ll pass over but you need beneficial bacteria’s to fight it off. Also introduce some Tiger Pods for that biological chemistry helping combat this stage.
