Yeah that's one of the big bummers of the mini crash right before treatment. Pretty sure my stn is a symptom from that and not the treatment but it's definitely in the back of my mind.
I plan to frag the pieces I can that are showing signs, well past the die-off, and see if it continues or not. Still wouldn't be 100% sure tho.

I get back in town tomorrow. I'll try and update this weekend with some pictures. I've backed off to one dose a week @ 10ml for my 100g system since there's is less algae in the tank.
It's been a few weeks since I sent my triton test in and it still doesn't show its arrived on the site. I'm thinking there was a mail issue and it got lost. Major bummer

So I've been dosing 1-2 times per week and weekly water changes. I've noticed a lot of bubble algae die off and am starting to see a dent in the stuff. I've also noticed that frags i've added since (on once live rock) havent gotten any new bubble algae growth. Those pieces of rocks are clean and prior to the use of vibrant usually exploded with bubble algae. I've added one of the foam covers to my mp40. Every other day its packed with die off/clumps that have broken loose and thats the only manual removal I've done so far. Here are a few pictures. I have SO much its hard to tell, but some sections are completely clear that were once affected/covered.
Picture taken 1.7
Similar picture from yesterday 1.28
With the way things are going i think that clump under the SSC will be gone in 2 weeks or so. The bubbles have turned translucent and will end up in my mp40 cover in no time.

1.7 The next section I hope will start to clear up. Looks pretty similar so I'll take a top down in a few more weeks.
Still seeing some progress without any manual removal on my part. The majority of the areas left look to be turning opaque so hopefully itll all be gone in the next few months. The top area is still the worst. I'll update some more progress shots.
I think manual removal would help. I don't believe in the the theory of popping them making them spread faster. If the nutrients aren't available... even if you pop them they shouldn't grow back.
I wonder how Emerald Crabs don't pop them when they eat them you know?
When Scott's tank was totally covered (400 gallon and every piece of rock was bubble algae... it was crazy... most I've ever seen), we scraped and sucked out so much it practically filled a 5 gallon bucket. After 2 or 3 times of doing that, with some changes in filtration, it didn't come back. We popped probably a million of them... the water was green.

I was thinking whatever is in that stuff would make it not grow back. I've never had a BA problem. Maybe a few pieces but that's it. Loving my new sps setup. Clean, soaked in rodi rock, clean plugs, all coral cut and dipped before going in. Makes it so much easier to have a pest free tank.
