Hi,
I think this might be bubble algae, but am not certain. Here are some pics. Any help would be WONDERFUL

The color is throwing me off but I think that is bubble algae.

looks like cyno with bubbles trapped in it i had some that looked like that in a low flow area....btw nice shrooms

How do you go about getting rid of it?
I have a AquaC Remora HOB PS with the skimmer box and it still releases mirco bubbles and it stays on my LR and I get sick of it and get my PH and blow it off. Is there another way I can get this to stop?

it's cyanobacteria. you can get rid of the aqua c remora and that will cure your microbubble issue, but you'll still have the cyano. increase flow, do some waterchanges to deplete nutrients, and get a better skimmer

well said mr x

I do need a better skimmer, but flow? I have a 90 with Danner mag drive 7 (at 4 foot about 500 gph) , Koralia 2 (600 gph) and a 3 (850 gph) all = almost 2000 gph and bubble at top of rock. I cant believe flow a problem, but correct me if I am wrong.

if it's able to attach to your rock, like pictured, there is not enough flow in that particular area.
