Started treatment last Thursday and its very promising right now. So far, no issues with all other live stock. bio-pellet still running and so is my chaeto reactor. All things considered it has been as expected. Can't wait to put my skimmer back online though, its still running without the cup, just a flipped cap to cover it up.

Skimmers still behaving normal. Noticing some change in colour. Everything's behaving normal as far as corals and livestock

i'm not entirely understanding this comment but i'm under the assumption you just started treatment 2 days ago. if that is the case then you are doing your treatment a disservice by running that skimmer and are just pulling all the meds out of the water.

Gonna bump this back up. I'm hearing reports of this stuff killing hair algae too, any truth to this? After tanking my carbon dosing off line a few months ago my algae seems to be kicking in (nitrates are up to about 5 now) and I'm wondering if this stuff will help?

It can help.... But I believe there are easier and more natural remedies for hair algae. Rather than dumping in medication that we don't fully understand how and why it kills bryopsis.

I'm in my 2nd round of treatment.

45G + 20G sump

First treatment: 4.5 pills 3 months ago

Second treatment: algae started to grow back after about 2 months.

5 pills, partial wc after 2 weeks, add 5 more pills. Traces of bryopsis is gone again already but im really going to make sure there's no spores or eggs that might hatch later amd keep the med in the tank another month.

I wonder if repetitive unsuccessful treatments could one day lead to fluc immune bryopsis. Scary thought.
