help...bubble agea on my back glass (1 Viewer)

[G-reef]

some one please help...just noticed this morning when I peeked behind my aqua scape... I have a good amount of green bubble algea there growing on the glass.....someone please help...im not sure on what to do...I would have to move a lot to get to it ....and I think its even to tight a space for a clean up crew to get at.....don't like adding anything to tank as far at chemicals...just when things were perfect...ALGEA!!!!!

Remove it manually is your best bet, Emerald crabs will eat it, Foxface will get it done too.
I really don't suggest chemicals other than inject the bubbles with a small amount of muriatic acid.
Once bubble algae always bubble algae.
Just hoping is isn't as big as this..........

yep manual removal with a nice sharp razor (try to keep the bubbles intact).

Yep, see it as you shipping some corals, they will be in a bag or container.
If you want to be safe put in a small pump or air pump that keeps you water circulating.

I have two bags of small frag plugs from BRS http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/oceans-wonders-ceramic-coral-frag-plugs-25-pack.html
Your close so come buy if you need them.
Don't have glue for ya.
Or if it is just for zoa's, go to HD or Lowes and get a sheet of small 1" tiles for $10+ you will have 144 frag plugs.

Did you guys stare enough?
Hoping your BA isn't BA but regular algae with just some air under it.
Let us know after the test that I told you to do what the out come is.
