Bubble Algae Removal

Waffen06 · Mar 17, 2020

So my new (used) tank I got 2 weeks ago is going great but now its time to battle some issues I knew came with the tank. First is the bubble algae, there are probably 2 dozen bubbles I can see in my 60 gallon cube. A lot are buried in the rock so removing the rock wont work. I removed some when moving the rock but was in a hurry to set the tank back up. I was looking at Vibrant, any cons to using it? My only other worry is I have a starry blenny that likes picking the tiny amounts of algae of the rocks dont want him to lose his food source.

Peroxide and a curved syringe. Just squirt some on the bubbles and watch over the next couple days as they just fade away.

Vibrant eradicated the bubble algae in my 90 gallon tank that had been a massive problem for 3 years.

I dosed the amount for dirty aquarium except every 3 days and it took about a month until it was gone. Doesn’t happen overnight, but it never returned.

I was pulling out handfuls of it before the Vibrant. I was skeptical before but it truly is magic in a bottle for me.

Did it hurt anything else in the tank?
