new light and BAM bubble algae

ok so what kills bubble algae. ive had my new light for 2 or 3 days and now the back of my tank has it all over the center. please tell me i dont have to strip my tank. its on some rocks and the sand and the tube for my filter too

 

sorry bro, fastest and best way=striping tank and scraping them off

 

I would manually remove what I could reach. Try your best not to break any of them. Then a couple of emerald crabs should take care of what you cannot reach.

 

lol thats sooooo what i was trying to avoid but unless i wanna spend all my time trying to pull it all out and hope for the best thats probly what ill have to do

 

Manual removal and emerald crabs always worked well for me. +1 to jonjonwells.

 

take the affected rocks out and cut the bubble algae off with a razor.
then rinse rocks in tank water and put them back in. Working great for me so far.

 

im going to try and post a vid soon to confirm what i think. the effected rock is at the bottom of the rest so im just going to break it down and transplant my livestock to a 10 gal holding tank until im done
