bubble alge in fuge

[pirate_bob]

I have a horrible outbreak of bubble alge in my fuge... it's only in my fuge none in my main tank... its pretty much competing with my razor caelurpa.. is there anyway i can get rid of it.. currently I'm running HD 125 watt agro-light...
its a 30 gallon rubbermaid fuge
3 - 4" LSB
10# LR
only filtration is my overflow draining into my fuge then overflowing into my sump.

an emerald crab will make short work of it

wouldn't an emerald eat the caelurpa also??????

mines never ate macro, but my friends emerald ate over 5 feet worth of macro in 2 weeks

Emeralds eating macro...
Some do, some don't
I had one that did and one that didn't......50/50
IME....get small emeralds, they seem to work harder.
Try removing as many bubbles as you can with your finger nail. Aim for the base and try not to pop the bubble. Then with the addition of an emerald crab, you might be able to get it under control. You will have to remove some by hand though.

i slowly twist off the larger bubbles from the base. but only the big ones
