My nano Sps Dom tank crashed during a power outage, after that bubble algae take over. This my not be a topic for Sps thread but I think I'll get the best info here. Crabs are a no because I've had one nip at my acros and was a pain to get him out and no room for more fish. If I keep good water quality will it die off? Any help would be great. Thanks
 
Bubble algae is a real pain. It can grow in relatively low nutrient tanks. My best suggestions would be to manually remove it as much as possible and keep the nutrient levels low to keep it in check. I have had it in my tank for a long time without it getting out of hand, just by manually removing it. I have a siphon hose with a filter sock attached draining into the sump and I pick the algae off the rocks and siphon the floaters. Works pretty good.
 
Manually remove it as much as possible and you can dose hydrogen peroxide: 1ml for every 10 gallons of water. Works very well and is very safe! Did not hurt or bother anything in my tank, I dosed for a week and didn't have the problem any more. There is a thread about it on ********* type in hydrogen peroxide under the general search bar.
 
I dont know why it blocked that out, if you want more info just drop me a pm I'll be happy to help and pass on any helpful information your way!
