Losing my battle against bubble algae...

[JMM744]

I used hydrogen peroxide in my 30 reef when it had the stuff. I took a pipette full and after killing flow slowly squirted the peroxide around the algae. I did small areas at a time over a couple weeks. Couple days after application the bubbles would start turning white and then went clear and vanished. I found some bubble algae in my 70 reef a year back and did the same treatment with the same results.
vibrant is a great product but hydrogen peroxide is cheap and quick.

How’s the Vibrant working out for you? I tried it and it caused havoc — wiped out 75% of my coral (mostly zoas, mushrooms and sps, some lps).

Perfect, no loss at all and all algae gone. A mystery bubble algae now and then. I do large water changes to help flush junk out and keep water parameters good

I am on about week 3 or 4 of vibrant dosing. No issues with corals at all, but also not seeing much dent in bubble algae either. Gonna stick with it for a couple more months and see how it goes...

fluconazole works better for that
