What is the most effective algea eater/remover, an algea scrubber, tomini tang, or any tang that can be in 100 gallons, or copepods?

What about for bubble algea?

Most of the same above applies. Pithos crabs are great for bubble algae.

In a 100 gallon tank you can add a rabbitfish/one spot foxface for bubble algae. I might try a few emerald crabs first, though. For other kinds of algae, stable parameters, a shorter lighting period, time, and lowered levels of nutrients will usually be enough to get rid of it.

Emerald crabs can eat bubble algae
You already have two threads started about your algae concerns. The first one you were asked for pictures so people could assess your issues and offer assistance. Instead of following up you did not respond and started another thread about using vibrant. Now you start this thread about your algae issue. How about you posts an image of your tank under white lights so folks can see what it us you are dealing with

Algea out of control
I have about 100 lbs of rock and its all covered with algea. Same with my glass. I clean it and the next day its back and sometimes even worse. Wasnt planning on getting any new fish but what else could i get whether its filtration or chemicals or literally anything thats not overly expensive.

Vibrant chemical
I just bought vibrant to help with my algea problem and some reviews say it messed up their coral. I was wondering, will it mess with my corals?

Going to agree here with pictures can help a lot with figuring out what would be best to do for your tank!You already have two threads started about your algae concerns.

MY tank is not big enough to house a foxface or tang, so I used microbacter clean and it killed all of the bubble algae. I believe it is a week long dosing treatment. By about the 5th day all of the bubble algae turned white and slowly melted away. There was a lot of it too. My only issue was that because all of that bubble algae died so quick, it caused a nutrient spike.

I had an acan on a frag plug with bubble algea. I put the frag in a container with 2 cups water and .002ml of Vibrant and let sit over nite. In the morning I was able to use a tiny flathead screwdriver and popped them off intact really easy. Now it's on a frag rack so I can watch and make sure it doesn't pop back up.
