Bubble Algae SOS

[Ben street]

Hi there I have a horrible bubble LG outbreak in my tank I've been trying to maintain it using removal methods and it has now become a problem I'm having a difficult time keeping up with. is there any other means besides Emerald crabs water changes and a shorter photo period to help combat this problem?

What size is your tank?

 

[Ben street]

29 nano cube with good water perimeters.

2 emerald crabs

That's really about your only choice animal wise. Tanks not near big enough for a Foxface. Only other thing you can really do is manual removal and cut back on your feedings.

If your nutrients are not too low you could try the vibrant aquarium cleaner.
I personally have never had an emerald crab help. It's a large Animal and sadly mine seemed to have starved.

True, but I put one into a tank that had a nightmare outbreak (it was mostly just an extra 90g tank I keep running for qt and emergency duty) and that emerald crab has been having a feast for months....he never stops eating...

I did say I. Many folks report good results.
Me, not so much.
