Bryopsis

[mdbannister]

I've got a bryopsis outbreak, and I think I found the cause and have remedied that...now does anyone have a solution? How do I get rid of this crap?

Hope this helps (and is practical for your tank):

Kent Tech M is the most common used product to deal with bryopsis.

+1 I have my Mag set to about 1600ish and the Bryopsis has stayed away for 3 months now.

Yeah. The tech M is very expensive and you need a lot. Get Magneseum from bulk reef supply. Its cheap and you need it anyway for healthy corals. Just Raise your mag SLOWLY to 1500-1600 and watch the stuff turn to ash and disolve.

I had the vial weed and killed it this way. Keep the mag high for 2-3 months before easing it back down. Keep an eye on your corals when you increase the mag. If they respond negatively, go slower. But ultimately the corals will be fine and the bryopsis will vanish.

I tried putting high Mg with balling,about 1800 but no luck.I cleaned it with NOPOX in a 2 weeks,also my diatom disapeared.But I got cyano on the sand and I am not sure if NOPOX is the reason.

Increase Mg to about 1500 and remove as much as you can as often as you can o along with water changes using 0 tds water.
