    bryopsis? or a sea hare? I have a magnificent foxface in this tank and it MAY pick... and pick is definitely used lightly here.

    I just recently eliminated bryopsis in my 200 gal system by using Kent Tech M. Plan on getting the gallon size because it takes a good dose to raise the mg level. I was dosing 250 ml per day. I went from 1300 to 1600 over two weeks and the bryopsis disappeared. From what I read it is an ingredient in the Tech M and not the mag level itself that kills the bryopsis.
