I think if you research how often people dose to get rid of bubble algae using Vibrant, they used a more aggressive dosing schedule per week and they dosed over a month to many months.
Other people can chime in but Vibrant is pretty strong stuff and can pale your acros and get your nutrients out of whack.

I definitely dosed more than the recommended amount. I think 2x weekly instead of immediately after the water change. It's unfortunate photobucket pulled all the pictures from my thread - Smites 100. I think I stated the dosing regimen there. I'm at work but I'll check it out tomorrow.
That tank was very mixed but about 85% sps. It also had clams and anemones at the time of dosing. I lost a kole tang during the treatment but I've gone through a few of those so I could have been coincidence. I did find it weird that the only fish affected was an algae grazer.
I always struggled to maintain nutrients in that system and made up for it with lots of food and coral supplements. I'm sure vibrant will drop your nutrient level some. I do remember losing some color but my die off was massive. If stick to the suggested dose, it may take a little longer but I'm sure it will do the trick. You'll see the bubble algae lighten, they start to go translucent before it goes flying around the tank. If you have a no style pump or other pump you can place a foam filter gaurd on it made clean up super easy.
