Algae confirmation

Can someone confirm this is Bryopsis.

I need to know know what I am up against and make sure I am fighting the correct battle since I am loosing and Kent mag at 1600 is making no progress.

Tried the kent mag thing with no luck might try pulling the phosphate down as low as you can get it.

Going to do that and try the raising of the ph to 8.5 slowly.

I was having no luck with the Tech-m untill I started to pour it directly on the algae and let it sit there for a couple hours. I would turn off all the pumps in my tank and pour it down on top of it and then within a couple days it was gone. I never had any side effects with mthis. All corals and invertswere fine. Give it a shot.
