Bryopsis.. Any livestock remedies?

I bought a frag of zoas for my 30 gal back in november that had some bubble algae, and what I thought was feather caulerpa. The snails and my emerald crab went nuts and it was all gone. A couple months later I saw stubs of it growing back.. It wast a big deal so I just picked it out and threw it away. Now, it's 6 months later and it is on other rocks and I can see small tufts of it in crevices. Its only noticeable if you know what it is, but its annoying me a lot. I've been picking it out still, but it grows back a lot faster since the addition of my third fish, a flame hawk. I'm guessing the additional nutrients caused this and now I'm seeing the effects of it. Ive decided that I will only do mag raises as a last resort, but ive tried low level hydrogen peroxide treatments and just picking it out. Neither have worked very well. I don't have an emerald crab anymore, but I have snails and hermits. Is there anything that will help me out? Worst case scenario is that I do a coral only tank so there are much less nutrients in the tank..

 

The ONLY thing that'll eat it, assuming it is truly bryopsis, is a lettuce-leaf nudibranch. But then you'll need to re-home the nudi once it's gone.

Honestly, it's easier to just raise your Mg with Kent Tech-m. Raise it no more than 100ppm per day until you reach ~1600ppm. Keep it there for a couple weeks, and viola.

If it's not actually bryopsis, neither of these statements are applicable.

 

^^ Totally agree ^^ Raising your Mag using Kent Tech M is your safest and easiest remedy. Some peoples will even go as high as 1800. Definitely no reason to go fishless!! Give it a try

 

I'm part of a reef club, and one person keeps sea lettuce slugs and aptsasia eating nudibranches. I'm not sure if he has the ones your talking about, but I'll ask.

Mag is definitely an option, but it will cost me a lot more because I don't test for mag and I don't have the dosing supplement. Ill probably end up doing that if he doesn't keep the nudibranches.

 

Just checked the prices of the supplement and the salifert test kit, Nevermind, that's the way I'll be doing it, thanks. I thought it was going to be about double that.
