I've not had much fun today surfing the net trying to figure out what I can do to get rid of the Bryopsis that has reared it's devilish head in my tank.
I've read on other forums (which I hate doing because they all talk mean to each other ) all the bad news about Bryopsis. I'm starting this thread here at RS because I'd like to journal my experience from the beginning & hope it has a happy ending. I don't know yet if that's going to happen. If anyone has dealt with Bryopsis & can share here what you did that worked & didn't work...I would appreciate the input.
This little frag started out looking like it was growing a little GHA
I took it out of the tank, plucked the algae & put it back in...about a week later the above picture is what it looked like. I took it out then & trashed it.
Had noticed a little more green sprigs on a top LR...when on vacation for 8 days & come back to find this big blob of Bryopsis
Just makes me feel ill :waa:
Got out my old (was new but has never been opened) Red Sea Magnesium Pro Test Kit
And I can't figure out how to do this STUPID TEST :dunce:
So is there an easier to do Mg test??
...I only tried once but I am already frustrated that it is not easier to do. I will need to be testing my Mg every day as soon as my Kent Tech-M arrives.
From what I've read Tech-M is the only hope to get rid of this Bryposis that is growing in my tank.
I have too much to lose to let it win. I have corals & fish depending on me to take care of them.
I can't tear it all down with no place for them to go
I'll have lots of questions as this tread grows, I need help cause I'm feeling clueless right now.
Has anyone used a simpler Mg test than Red Sea Pro?
