    Ok Steve I will, but I'm gonna wait until after the Mg treatment against bryopsis. Right now there is little bits of it everywhere. I really don't want macro shots of the biggest headache I've encountered in this hobby.

    Alright boys and girls my Kent M-Tech has arrived, so the bryopsis battle has begun. According to the instructions add 1ml per 1 gallon of tank water, so 72 DT + 20 Sump + 10 DSB/Fuge - Sand & Rock = I reckon about 60 gallons total. Therefore I added 60 mls with a turkey baster right into a big bad thicket of bryopsis.

    Lets hope it works.....:cry:

    Re: My 72 mixed no SPS.

    Looks like some white dead patches of bryopsis in this clump I squirted with Kents M-Tech. iPhone pic here, not very good.

    I swear to sweet baby Jesus this is the same rock 24 hours later. I just hit it lightly with a Scotch-Brite pad to remove the dead bryopsis. Kents M-Tech is no joke.

    How long has your tank been running? is it possible to get pictures of your sump or refusium?

    I basicly have the same tank with a 20 gallan fuge. I like the growth in your tank.

    You have to download your pictures into a photo sharing site like Photobucket then cut and paste image links into your post.

    Glad to see that your bryopsis issues seem to be over!!!
