My humble 3ft - PLEASE ADVICE -

[Gouldian]

some red algae and bubbles on the SB.

does anyone know what is the cheaper and efficient way to get rid of it ?

These are not Algae but Cyano Bacteria.

The cheaper way to rid them other than rowa is to siphon them out. But this will treat the symptom not the cause, the cause of cyano for your case as identified earlier is overfeeding.

Besides rowa another way is to nuke your tank with Red Slime Remover. But bear in mind that RSR will stunned if not kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank as well, thus used it only as a last resort.

Quite true too. If you dun like the cucumber you can even try Sand Dollar, I bought two from ML to clean up my sand beds with great success.

If you want, I can pass you one as both are growing too crowded for my tank liao.

BTw i heard u gonna get a solar ?
