I’m making this thread due to the poor information and lack online knowledge on about this product. I’m giving it the review here and all details on my progress with this product. I absolutely hate the fact that I’ve just started up an urchin tank and there is already Bubble algae.
I’ll be providing pictures and updates throughout the month progress as instructed with the bottle.

The Continuum products are the same as the Brightwell products. Same company branded under a different name. I had a pretty bad bubble algae infestation a while back and found the below video on YouTube. I ended up using the products from Brightwell, (Razor and MB Clean). I did not use that Redox stuff based on a recommendation from Randy. The instructions on the video I am sure will work but they are backwards according to the instructions on the bottle. You should dose MB Clean first and then Razor or the equivalent Continuum products. I verified this with Brightwell plant manager. I dosed MB Clean 1hr after lights came on (8am). Turn off skimmer, UV and pull out filter socks, after 4hrs turn on skimmer, UV and put in filter socks and and add Razor. I followed the dosing amounts and days according to the video. I did not do a water change because I was not seeing any adverse effects of my corals. Bubble algae was turning transparent and was totally gone in a little over 3wks. Once the bubble algae was gone I added some carbon to pull out most if not all of the Razor.
Worked great. If you have any Macro Algae the Razor may kill it.

I’m just starting dosing this as it was recommended by my LFS to help with a nutrient imbalance leading to a dino outbreak. Be good to hear any updates you have on how it went for you.

Horrible. It would just help the Dino/bubble algae. I took everything down when I moved and hydrogen peroxide everything even the corals, threw away all live rock, scrubbed all rocks attached with corals, it was a serious peroxide deep clean to the whole tank, pump, gyro. Took like 4 days and even then I quarantined the corals for any left of growing bubble algae.

Lost 2 very expensive corals which I would blame this product just before calling it quits on the products. Never again as those corals have never had any issues for 3 years.

If you have very expensive corals. I wouldn’t Risk it. But you can absolutely test at your own risk like I did.
