Any creative solutions to bubble algae out there? Its not so much of a problem with my frag plugs but rather growing in and around the eggcrate. The tank is 30g and I have two or three emeralds in there already.
 
Foxface or a some tags will eat it.

That's exactly why my 125 display is bubble free- foxface and hippo. Sometimes I'll even pick some out of my frag tank and feed it to them. But my prop system is only 30g and manual removal is getting ridiculous. Btw my nutrients are in check and params normal. Although I do feed my chalices heavily in the prop tank.
 
Ok, Ill look for a small foxface. Otherwise Im going to have to dismantle the eggcrate racks...again.
