bubble algae

[RedRider001]

ways to eraticate it from my tank parimeters are good

Its also known as valonia if you are searching for info. Those XL turbo snails took care of them for me although others haven't had the same success. Make sure you don't "pop" them or the problem will be 10 times worse.

A foxface took care of mine in about three weeks

Vodka dosing got rid of mine.

bubble algae

any particular vodka and how much to dose I have a 29g reef with no fish as of now just crabs and snails and corals thanks

 

[fishfan09]

you may want to talk with hollback and other members who have dosed (I have not) but it is my understanding that you need a powerful skimmer to dose vodka anything less just will not keep up. Could be wrong but I would read and ask other dosers.

 

[RedRider001]

ok any ohter suggestions on what to do

 

[perenes]

vodka a very small amount there are threads about it

 

[RedRider001]

[RedRider001]

I cant get one there really fast and go in and out of the rockwork

 

[sammie]

mysis?

 

[szwab]

Probably, like Sammie said mysis, copepods, or amphipods.

 

[hollback]

I'd vote Mysis. They are the really fast ones.
