I will recieve mine in the mail today. Just performed a 20% water change and manually removed as much bryopsis as possible to help the process. I'll dose 20mg/gal based on my 60gallon net water. Also I'm going to leave skimmer running with cup off as I carbon dose. I will of course take carbon and gfo offline while the Fluk is doing its thing. I'll keep you all posted.

Update...

24 hrs after dosing, Bryopsis is looking weaker and losing its color. Bryopsis that is in the more shaded areas of the tank doesn't look to be too effected yet. So far so good. No negative effects to the tank.

O...M...G...
That's hilarious! And here I'm wondering why you didn't reply to my text earlier? Did it not work? Haha busy cracking beers and making memes I see.

You're welcome Ian

Update.

Day 14 since adding the Fluc. All bryopsis gone. There are a few tiny wirey strands that might be bryopsis but could be hair algae. In any case it was successful.

In total I added 7 capsules for 6o gallons. I added the 7th cap on day 4.

I left the skimmer running with the cup on but turned it down to a dry skim. I'm sure leaving the skimmer on slows the process however I wasn't willing to risk leaving my skimmer off while carbon dosing.

I'm going to wait another couple days before doing a water change as everything looks good.
