green bubble algea?

[tat2tillidie]

how do you get rid of it? i have been seeing it start to multiply.

 

[nanoreef16g]

Pick it out by hand and do not pop them. They will release spores and multiply like crazy. Or if you trust them, Emerald Crabs.

you think i should syphon water over it in case i do break one?

 

[tat2tillidie]

can i cover it with super glue? will that work

 

[martinfaimly]

you can use a very large turkey baster to try to suck up and out of your tank. but if you do pop em they will be all over. even using a substrate vac to remove all water around them as you remove not bad idea.

do you think the super glue will work?

 

[martinfaimly]

dont know cause i never ad it in my tank.

 

[nanoreef16g]

No the super glue wouldn't work. It just wouldn't stick. Get a small diameter tube to siphon the bubbles out while you pick. It's easier and if you do break one it won't be a big deal.

I hate the little things and know that they have took over some people's tanks who are in the DRC. When I find it I take out the rock and chip off that section of the rock and throw it away. Then I rinse the rock off and put it back. It is rumored that Mithrax crabs(emeralds) will eat them, but they may help to spread them around as well.

One more reason to use a qt tank.
