check this out, but I believe raising mag only works if you use Kent Tech M magnesium supplement ( I dont know why) apparently other commercial products or Epsom salts, raised dont cut it, but Kent Tech M raised to 1600 or 1700 has helped rid many tanks of bryopsis (Ive been WWW surfing)

Raising Mg will only help with some species and I believe you need to use magnesium sulfate, I believe that's what the Kent Tech M is, magnesium sulfide won't work.

 

Is there anyway you could shut off that overflow (not let water get to it) and let it dry out then scrape it out??

 

Hi ya,

I had bryopsis a year ago & Tangster gave me some helpfull advice on using Kent Teck M to raise the mag to i think it was 1600. dont hold me to that amount thou as i cant remember.

I have today noticed it is back again! all over my tank so im going to have to raise my mag again!

Tangster if your around i could do with that advice you gave me again lol

K

 

You remembered correctly

 

Thanks curt, Ill grab a bottle on pay day!

eh..tangster's problem aside, that Kent Tech M treatment (higher than 1300 though) seems to work for everyone else. is it really bryopsis? got a pic? (did I skip it, internet going slow...)

 

raising Mag in my tank fixed my BYprosis problem. I used the mag from Bulk Reef Supply though in their 2 part.

 

try a sea hare. a nudi wont be good unless you can stop up your standpipe because it will end up in your sump in seconds lol.

 

Kents M Tech is like RoundUp for bryopsis.
