Bubble Algae Gone!

ronfox · 12-04-2007, 12:54 PM

Wow....Last night I asked you all how to get rid of bubble algae and I was happy to get the responses as usual. Well this morning, I went to the store and picked up a tube of super glue gel. When I got home and was ready to remove the algae, one of my snails parked itself over the small cluster of bubbles and is going to town on the stuff as we speak. It seems like every day there is something new that just impresses me again and agian. I wish I started this hobby a long time ago. Thanks for the advice, I will keep the glue and use it for something else.

Take notice as he may actually rupture one of two of them in the process. I'm glad to hear that it's leaving "naturally" as that's almost always better than the alternative ways. Keep us posted (Pics would be GREAT here )

Wow. I have never heard of snails eating the bubble algae. Guess you just got lucky with the snail. Cool!

I reckon if you starve them enough they think Bubble Algae tastes like chicken too

I guess I never thought about it like that. Am I starving them? What can I do to make sure they have plenty to eat? I clean the green algae daily on my glass. Maybe I should leave a little for them. Maybe I have to many in my CUC.

lol, this is great, i have found out that mine will eat almost anything, i have a in-tank skimmer setup, so i woke up this morning and one of my "ninja" nassarius snails went up into the skimmer and started cleaning around, the only thing i have ran into is my mongolian puffer trys to eat them... good luck

BigAl07 · 12-04-2007, 02:59 PM

Oh I was just being silly. I didn't mean to insinuate you were starving them at all. I'm pretty much of a clown and cutting up.. don't take it that I was being critical at all

Of course

You know me

Well this will be my last thread posting with Reef Sanctuary. I thought that you guys were here to help, not make fun of new reefers. I cant help it that I am not a veteran to this hobby like BigAl07. There are alot of us that realy depend on and look forward to getting help and advice from the pros. You should be proud of that and take it like a compliment. Instead you use it as an opportunity to make jokes. You were all beginners at one point. So goodbye to everyone. Maybe I will get through this and keep my corals alive. If they die, I want everyone to know it was BigAl's falut.

P.S. Just kidding. I like to cut up and joke around also!!!!! I did not take anything you said personal. Have a good one.

BigAl07 · 12-04-2007, 05:47 PM

WHEW! That got My goat good....

I give you BIG credit for that one...

ronfox · 12-04-2007, 06:29 PM

You have to have fun in this life. Laughter makes the world turn. Have a good one, look forward to talking with you in the future.

When I heard you talking like that I thought I would soon have a PM. Trouble seems to revolve around me...
...If someones yelling I automatically apologize. They have me trained, sort of.
