I'm in bubble algae hell

[mill1201]

I need a way to rid my tank of the bubble algae. Any pointers? I bought an emerald mithrax crab, but he seems to hate the bubble algae as much as I.

I had bad bubble algae when I first started. The emerald crab I got did as much as he could to AVOID the stuff. I have syphoned it out with pumps of and a tooth brush. Ultimatly I took every rock out of my tank and scrubed them in one bucket and dipping them in 2 seperate buckets of clean water to get all the spores off. I haven't seen any in 8 months+.

you can try using a 5/8" id hose when doing a water change to pop and siphon them out. it worked well for me.

Tweezers work well.

Some people report having success with Scribbled Rabbitfish (Siganus doliatus) if you have the room.
