That's probably your problem. It's an unregistered pesticide. The manufacturer recently lost a lawsuit because of that.

I'd do a few solid water changes to get that out of your system. Bubble algae shouldn't be that huge of an issue that you need something to kill it.
 
Vibrate is a algaecide that kills all types of algae could be causing the issue. That would be considered a change.
Here is a read if you like nerdy stuff but basically it found its not just bacteria, I listed a safer product that might help with bubble.
