    agreed with all the above. kill the lights and you will see a huge difference. that is diatom. you must be going thru a cycle.

    FWIW, Bubble algae is a much harder tissue and can feel like miniture grapes when grabbed. DONT POP THEM as this will release the spores. for killing bubble algae, get you a couple of emerald crabs and they will do the trick.
