Bryopsis, Not a pretty picture

[Silverfish]

Howdy lads, thought I'd jump in. I seem to have a red type of bryopsis in my tank, along with some really tough reddish hair algae. The bryopsis (looks like bryopsis from the pics I saw on RC when I did a search) is not too bad yet :rolleyes: , but I want to nip it in the bud before you know what. The hair algae has gone nuts though, and I am battling both the same way.

I use boiling water mostly to nuke the stuff. I was using a turkey baster, but it is hard to get into the tank without it all shooting out everywhere first. Today I tried a small syringe with a piece of that "milky white" 1/4" tube on the end. I shot the algaes with boiling water and it works great. I am going to Industrial Plastics tomorrow to get a big syringe (thought I saw some there) so I can really blast em!

I wonder if a boiling kalk mix would work? Might try that too.

BTW, the bryopsis I have looks like little ferns, I didn't know there were other types. My emeralds totally munch on the hair, but not the Bryopsis.
