Hi all,
I am in the process of upgrading my tank from a 33 to a 130.
My tank has been doing well but I have been battling red bubble algae well.....for freaking ever.
I really don't want to have to deal with 5 times the red bubble algae.
My rock is really coraline covered and as said has been maintaining my lps and sps corals perfectly.
So here is my dilemma..... Would you:
A) In the transfer cut off any red bubble and scrub the offending areas well with a toothbrush
B) Keep it, but kill it and start new by re-seeding it.
C) Sell it and buy new rock from a trusted source.
I can find no natural predator for this type red bubble algae..... We have been removing 20-30 every 2 weeks...
There is probably 30-40 in my tank now....
What would you do....
