HELP!! green bubble algae invasion

[frogiii]

My tank is covered with green bubble algae. When it started formed, it always died out and never spread out this much before.
Now its covering most my live rocks. Can you let me know how to treat them it¡¯s getting worse What is causing this to spread out like this? before it appeared maybe a patch and died out.

Phosphate and nitrate control/reduction, it's just an algae and most grazer won't eat eat.

I have a refugium, is that mean my refugium fails what is suppose do to my tank?

anyone selling this Crab?? I need one fast all my rocks are coverd with this algae.

Does the algae grow and are you harvesting algae from the refugium on a regular basis? Just having one does nothing more than provide maybe a place for pods to grow. If it's really bad I'd remove those rocks that you can and manually remove as many as possible and rinse them in the tank water you just siphoned out after your regular water change.

I do remove algae that grows on my refugium and give them to my LFS. I'll try the crab method first and see how it removes the algae from the rocks. Thank you SteveU

Run Phosban/Phosar/Rowaphos at least that solved my cyano problem. But the green bubble.... maybe nitrates... got good skimming? Cut back on feedings maybe. How about water changes?
