![]() Anyone want to take a guess at what this is? Looks like bryopsis, but short and bushy. Best I could do for pics after water change

![]() And, to add insult to injury, historically I have had a huge battle with NO3, some PO4. Haven't even bothered testing in forever, until right now. Both PO4 and NO3 at 0ppm. FML
Just did water change, going to hit it with the Kent Mg OD, see what that does. Some of the algae elsewhere is bryopsis for sure, and this stuff looks similar. Recent sea hare addition didn't touch it, and has apparently died. Or is hiding REALLY well ![]()

![]() I'd say bryopsis as well.
with high algae loads you will have 0 no3 and po4 due to uptake of algae. 1500+ mg was no help to me against bryopsis. Seahares can bury themselves as well. Might be time for a turf scrubber.

![]() I think if the Mg doesn't do it, I'm packing it up. Out of ideas and not motivated to do more.

![]() If your not into the turf scrubber then my suggestion would be adding vodka/vinegar and Foz Down directly into display tank(not sump or reactor) multiple times per day. The bacteria and Foz Down will out compete the algae for NO3 and PO4 and it will eventually die off.

![]() Diy nitrate reactor and/or algae turf scrubber (like Tim stated)

![]() Running fozdown AND granules AND pellets now, and may look at replacing all the rock in a couple weeks. I can't really fit a scrubber into this, so not an option.
You think VSV/fozdown is a better option?
