I have been battling bryposis for several months now and am totally fed up. Nitrates are zero, 2 reactors with gfo, no measurable phosphates. I have upped my Mg to over 1800. Twice as a matter of fact, once with Epsom salt and Mag flake and latest last week with Tech-M.
My system consists of two display tanks with a common sump and 40 gallon fuge. Till now the bryposis was only in one tank. What I am considering now is removing the affected rock which will mean about 1/2 of my 350-400 pounds. Then I will put it in straight RO/DI water for a day or two to kill it all. Then add salt and a piece or two of fresh LR to cure again.
Am I being to radical? I am at my wits end here.
