I’ve always been taught in this hobby to never pop bubble algae as popping the bubbles will just spread spores around a tank. Lately though, I came across this video on the BRStv YouTube channel entitled ‘Controlling Algae in Your Aquarium’, presented by Richard Ross during MACNA 2022. I was very impressed with the speech and the information given. The ending statement, ‘Algae problems are not fixed - They are managed’, I agree with 100%. The one part of the speech that came as a surprise to me though is around the 29:40 mark, where Richard talks about bubble algae and states that there is no reproductive anything inside the bubbles and that popping them will not spread them. Mr. Ross is a reefer who I have great respect for and this, along with the rest of the speech, has changed my view of algae control, bubble algae especially. So do you agree with him also? Or did he go out of his mind when he made this statement?
