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.
Today this section is free of bubble algae. I'll look for a before picture of this section when it was infested but its never been clean like this.
Over all I am happy with the results so far. My inverts seem fine, fish unaffected. I think i'm battling STN due to my mini crash treating cyano too aggressively, some pieces are struggling with color. I lost a clam while away for the week but it was just about upside down so I'm thinking it fell over and that was enough to take it out. MY other maxima is fine.
I sent in a Triton test last week, that was a few weeks in. Im curious if anything shows up.
I'll refer to this post in a few weeks to better mimic shots.
Anyone still dosing and seeing positive or negative affects?
