Bubble Algae on my clam

[victornator333]

There is some bubble algae growing my my maxima. How should i go about removing it without creating issues for the rest of my system?

Pull it off gently with a twisting motion if you have to do it in the tank. If you can pull the clam out easily and do it in another container that would be better. After you do a bunch you kinda get good at it.

I strapped a bamboo skewer to the end of a thin piece of tubing, just at the mouth of the tube, inhaled to create a siphon, then gently pried the bubbles off so that they were sucked up into the tube. I may still have this contraption if you want it.

That's a great idea.
