Reef Builders - The Source for Reef Keeping Information

So currently in my tank I have quite a lot of bubble algae, and the bubbles keep popping releasing there spores into the tank to grow more. I am getting sick of it so I bought some professional grade needle syringes to suck out all the spores filled bubbles. This is a great way to get rid of bubble algae. The total cost of the syringes was about $40, I got 100 in the box, not that I will ever need that many. I started to poke the algae bubbles last night, I did 3 and already it filled one syringe (3CC) full of bubble spores. The actual liquid inside the bubble algae looks greenish brown and smells like algae. Now I must note that the easiest way to get rid of bubble algae is when you first see it in your tank, and removing your phosphates. If you have done all that using the syringe method is a great way to knock it out!
