Dear friends
I have been havin this 400 gallon sps reef with frags and the system is been performing alright for some time.
I had a buble in one of the frags and I busted it while removing it and from there on a few went on to hundreds and now to millions.
Lighting is mix of 400w 20k radium (2 nos) and DIY led panels.
Skimmer is SRO SSS 5000
DIY chiller for cooling
And all parameters are normal
Alk - 7.8
Ca - 450
Mg - 1475
Phosphates - 0.01
Nitrates - 0
Phos and nitrates will show zero as the buble is consuming it big time.
I feed two frozen cubes of hikari mysis per day along with a small quantum of nls pellets.
Fish load is low for my tank with
three yellow tangs
Two regal tangs
Couple of wrasses
Four chromis
One fox face for bubble removal.
I think te fox went bizzerk on the bubble on the glasses and cleaned up my entire back glass which had a carpet of bubbles. And now I have them on the rocks every where. But the fox is not eating the ones on the rocks.
Luckily I have the scaping done in such a way I remove the rocks and remove the bubbles. But I have so much bubbles per rock that I Donna how to remove them all and it might take ages. Some of the rocks that I removed from system to remove bubbles.

I have been running phosban and now going to kick start my ATS with red LEDs. But before that I thought of removing as much bubble as possible.
In some of the rocks I have frags that I can remove, then remove the rocks and scrape the rocks off bubble.
Some of my tank shots. And bubble growing with some frags :)

Kindly lemme know what can be done
Can I pour peroxide on removed rocked to kill the bubble or do I need to manually remove them and then add peroxide?
