bubble algae

[WarDog]

The biggest problem is the BA spores. They are on everything and you don't have much choice other than a complete tear down. I'm assuming you have the same sheeting bubble algae as I do. I removed all my corals to another tank after heavy dipping in peroxide. The rock has plans for an acid bath. The spores also can travel through the fish, so it's a good idea to put them in a quarantine tank for a few days until they poop several times. It would also be a good idea to treat that tank with vibrant or Fluconazole. I'm not sure if UV can kill that particular spore.

I pretty much threw my hands into the air and gave up. Gives me a chance to upgrade anyways.

Good luck.

You can dip corals in peroxide?

[WarDog]

Kills pretty much every algae. Don't add it to your tank.

1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 20 parts salt water.

Turkey baste corals and scrub frag plugs and snail shells with a toothbrush. Dip no longer than a couple mins. Then rinse well with new salt water. Bingo bango.

I second Hunggy74, DinoX and an UV sterilizer should do the job.

Vibrant destroyed my bubble algae that the emerald crab couldn't keep in check. I haven't seen a single trace of it in almost 6 months, and I stopped using Vibrant probably 5 months ago. The emerald crab was also removed as it started to pick at other things with no bubble algae left to eat.

Might be worth a try, I found it turned the bubble algae really mushy then it just started to turn white and waste away.

so i took all my fish out of my tank and put them in a 30g, i also took out all the rock and i put the corals with the fish...im not sure how many i can salvage. next step is to clean the tank, what would be the best way to remove calcium and kill any bubble algae thats attached to things
