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.

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.

Yeh I've been dealing with manual removal and peroxide dosing for over a year. I went on vacation for a couple weeks and the tank was covered. In the 14 days since dosong it completely stopped the growth and eradicated it. If I left the tank from. Another 14 days without manual removal I would have had the stuff completely converting all my SPS.

best thing is all corals, fush and inverts look as healthy as ever.
