I would agree with graveyardworm, IME, it's important to get rid of as much detritus as possible after removing any nuisance algae.

But I don't agree with whomever said that you have to be careful not to pop the bubbles...I think that's a reefkeeping urban myth.

As an illustration, I have two pieces of Florida LR in my seagrass tank touching each other. One got overrun by bubble algae when I was away, but after removing every bubble I could find (popping some/most) of them, it's mostly bubble-algae free....and the other piece never got any bubble algae.
