What cause bubble algae to grow?

[Jaybeastin]

I cleared 95% of the bubble algae from manual removal just to see it start to grow back!

I’m on day 3 of reflux and I did 4x the dose. No noticeable progress so far .


My cause bubble algae ?? So I can stop the source . My phosphate is .10 and my nitrate is .10

As long as phosphate and nitrates are present in water the algae will keep growing.

This kind of stubborn algae even survives ultra low light conditions in my experience.

As far as I know there are two ways of dealing it
1. Control it with inverts, livestock and manual removal

2. Full tank treatment such as algae fix, vibrant, hydrogen peroxide treatments

If your tank is large enough, foxface fish are great at consuming bubble algae.

AlgaeFix is a good chemical option to help eradicate bubble algae.

Yes I'm currently using reflux and I hope it kills it. I'm losing my mind

I do have a Foxface about 3' and so far it doing a poor job at eating any kind of algae. It may be because its still young
