 Bubble Algae My 65 has been running for 6 months now and a couple days ago I noticed 1 green bubble of bubble algae, now there are 3.They are in crevices of rock and I can't get the turkey baster in to suck them out. Any ideas? I have 2 emerald crabs but they don't seem interested. Also, what causes bubble algae, can I prevent it?

| Re: Bubble Algae Remove the bubble algae, if you have high phosphates in your water that will contribute to algae. Leave your light on less, control your feeding and use nutrient export (a refugium would do nicely)

| Re: Bubble Algae Be careful. Don't pop the bubbles it could make it spread. Emerald crabs will eat it, but they are sometimes problematic themselves. What are your readings and do you run a phosphate reactor?
