I have just noticed an outbreak in my frag tank. I am doing a continuous water change of 2 gallons a day. I am changing From Red Sea Coral Pro to Tropic Marin. The only reason I was using the Red Sea was because I got a free bucket from BRS as they made a mistake and shipping me the wrong salt. But now my new aquarium should be here by the end of the week and I am ready to start the process of building a New Reef can't wait I am ready. I am going to document that in my other post But right now I am real busy and I am looking for suggestions The best way to go About my bubble algae that I just noticed. Actually I had noticed it before and forgot because didn't see any But today it reared its ugly head more than usual. I have been working hard to get the system running stable but have had varying degrees of success trying to balance everything.
The total system gallons are 35. 11 gal frag tank 14 gal Fuge 10 gal Sump.
Draining from Tank to Fuge that overflows to sump.
Have a Sailfin Molly in for Algae control guess he dosen't like the Bubbles but my main problem as far as stability is the Nitrates and Phosphates as far as keeping them stable. Was doing good but tried to get PO4 at .01/.03 Not 0 and it went to .23 this morning .18 need to check after this
So now I will stop and answer any ?'s

Those bubbles will form towards the middle and end of your light cycle. Should be gone in the morning when lights turn on.
