Bubble Algae

had bubble algae too.
+1 on the manual removal, but you have to be persistent. Don't give up
Good luck

I gave up!! I had so much in my 28, I ended up shutting it down, and I'm currently 'cooking' the rock... when I do my upgrade, I'll pull the cooked rock and use it then.

Use some kind of a prying tool to get underneath the bubble and pry it out. I just use a regular table knife.

Most of mine can't be popped off. the base is wedge inside a cavity in the rock. That or the bubble is under an overhang or to close to my eurobracing to get to. People always think it's cool when they see it... that somehow makes the crap even worse!
