I'm sure could've caught this issue much earlier than today if I would've set the time to do so.
I've been busy with work these past few months and have been slacking off after work hours. The tank has been running on auto, still manually dose Oyster feast & Phyto once I get home. I kept up with the bi-weekly 15-20% water change. I didn't keep up with my maintenance routine on the power heads. My goal has been to clean the powerheads every QTR & failed this June. I have noticed some bubble algae on the rocks while cleaning the front of the tank but didn't put to much thought into it. By the looks of it, I popped some algae while trying to manually remove it about a month ago.
My initial thought last week is to run my refugium +2 hrs to have 0 nitrates for a month and try to starve it out. (powerheads are currently being soaked in citric acid)
I would like to refrain from using Vibrant for now to keep my refugium going.
Anyone have any insight on what alternative I can try to eradicate bubble algae?
