Heeeeelp!!!! ...again

Pick out what you can manually without breaking them, & then get an Arrow head crab

 

Its amazing what the saltwater world will throw at you. Get over one battle and on comes the next.

For bubble algae, emerald crabs do well to eat it. You can manually remove it also by pulling off the bubbles, just try your best to NOT pop the bubbles. That releases all of the spores that lead to more bubbles all over your tank. You should also try and find out what is feeding the algae. How long do you run your lights each day? Do you have really old bulbs? What are your phosphate and nitrate levels? Too long of lights, REALLY old bulbs, and high phosphates/nitrates all feed algae and could be your source.

 

Another way to remove it is to smear super glue on it and let it set up for an hour or so then peel the glue off, the bubble algae will come off with the glue. Shaun

 

iam curious about the not breaking them thing, because when a arrow crab eats them doesnt he also break them in order to do so?

 

Donavon, the best thing to do would be to check your nitrate and phosphate on good test kits. unfortunately, any natural predator of bubble algea also causing it to spread. keeping your nutrients at low levels will help eliminatel the bubbles, and then getting a couple green emerald crabs (mithrax) will keep the little ones from growing any futher until the nutrients come down. hope this helps.

 

Take a look at this post, it might help you to rid the algae. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
