bryopsis

I keep second guessing myself. Thank you all very much for sharing your knowledge.

Has anyone used Reef Flux with a bubble tip anemone in the tank? The bryopsis in my tank came back with a vengeance even after doing two rounds of flux before I got my bta but I'm concerned it would be negatively impacted by the treatment. It's a pretty small one right now and I've had it for...

I've been battling algae back and forth since I set my tank up last December. It'll get really bad and then clear up really well for a few weeks and then come back. I'm curious what it is I'm fighting against and was hoping to get some help with ID'ing it. It gets really bad in the sand, I'll...

Hi, I’ve recently noticed this type of algae growing on my rock work and sand bed but I’m having issues identifying it. I has am appearance of bryopsis however looking under the microscope it doesn’t appear to look like it, I’ve also ruled out green hair algae as I have dealt with it before and...

Hey everyone, Please see the attached videos… I need some assistance and guidance. I've been looking all over the internet and forums, but I can't figure out what this green thing is in my tank. At times, it looks like a fern shape, and at other times, it seems stringy. I initially thought it...

So a little background the tank is about half a year old now. I have higher than desirable nutrients Nitrate is at 19.5 and phosphate is at .07-.17 (Hanna issues) I have a refugium going below the tank in my sump i do weekly water changes of about 35 gallons. (the tank is a 90-gallon display and...

I decided to post the history of my nano since I've been active on R2R more often lately. Here's the timeline with notable events, good or bad: Dec 15, 2022 Decided to jump back in to reefing after 6 or 7 years and a house move. I gotta admit my main motivation was the popularity of the...

Hi! We have been battling bryopsis and are treating our tank with FluxRX/fluconazole. We are on about day 12 of treatment, and have seen most of the bryopsis disappear, hooray! However, I realized I read all about how to introduce fluconazole, but not what to do at the end of treatment. 1)...

I had a lot of hair algae at one time. I accidentally cleaned too much rock with peroxide and knocked off the biology. Dino's came out, did 3 blkouts over the fall. Eventually the stones became heavily overgrown with fluffy unknown shrubs over time as I started to regain the previous light...

Been battling this hair algae for a couple months now, not sure which kind of algae it is. Bought a bunch of snails and hermits they won’t touch it, got a tomini tang, it won’t touch it. I was getting ready to get a couple emerald crabs but I don’t want to keep adding livestock if they’re not...

Both of their pages claim container has 2000mg of fluconazole. This is the only source of fluconazole I can buy without a prescription in my country. Anyone know if they're interchangeable? Also I dose nopox, so will not having a skimmer cause issue? ( Will have air hose for aerations)...

I've been dealing with this algea for a couple years now with no success. Nothing eats it, not even lettuce slugs. Which makes me doubt its actually bryopsis. Flux rx works to an extent. But it just grow back before you can blink.

Tuxedo urchin has what looks like Bryopsis on his back. I have another spot of Bryopsis elsewhere in the tank and have been trying to manually remove. I think the urchin picked up a strand and put it on the back. Anyone else face this issue?

✂️ Day 16 of Fluconazole treatment to kill off Bryopsis and some sort of nuisance turf algae = SUCCESS! I first started trying to beat Bryopsis with raising magnesium to up over 1600 which helped to slow down the growth rate but it just wasn’t enough. After posting about it a lot of you...

Back in February I had a huge takeover of cyano, bryopsis and GHA. First photo, I know it was bad. I was in a bad headspace I know what happened: overfeeding, lack of maintenance & topping off with questionable store bought water and the occasional tap water top off. I’ve manually removed...

Hey, I know they aren’t the best pics but wondering if this is bryopsis. Just removed a rock that def had a quarter sized growth on it so wondering if this is it too. Hard to tell for me. One other frag has something similar.

@Randy Holmes-Farley Hello. I have a bryopsis and gha problem in my 150g dt and sump combined aquarium. I have tried manually scrubbing it off the aquascape however they keep coming back and now have taken over almost all the walls and rock. I have been reading. Lot about Fluconazole lately. I...

Hi all! I seem to be having an issue with a nuisance algae. I would like to see if there is a "natural" solution to the problem before I try to attack it with chemicals. I have a starry blenny, a blue spot sea hare, and a smorgasbord of different snails, but none of them seem to touch the stuff...

Hello! I dosed Fluconazole (Flux RX) on Friday to treat Bryopsis in my 3 month old tank. I have a few zoas, mushrooms, and toadstools that have not seemed very happy since the Bryopsis popped up a couple of weeks ago. I have been dosing Neophos because the Bryopsis is leading to a po4 reading...

Bryopsis treatment... works great, almost. I feel like it always comes back. Found it in my sump after a treatment apprx. 6 months ago. So far I've only seen a single mention of performing a full treatment and then continuing with a significantly reduced concentration thereafter. I just...

I'm dealing with an outbreak of bryopsis in my 32g biocube. I have a fairly full tank of softies, LPS, some SPS, and a BTA. I also have a refugium going with copepods. What's a safer way to eliminate bryopsis...using elevated Magnesium over 1500 or dosing with Reef Flux (Fluconazole)? I...

So I have confirmed I have LCA Dino’s. On top of bryopsis and hair algae that I’ve been dealing with for a while now. I do weekly water changes but it’s just not getting any better. Obviously something is off but my parameters are not showing it. salinity ammonia 0 Nitrates 7 Nitrites 0...

I'm having a bit of an algae outbreak in my tank. I believe it is just GHA but I would like a second opinion. Can anyone ID this algae? Is it GHA or Bryopsis or something else? The tank is 6 months old, here are the current parameters: PO4: 0.09 NO3: 0.4 CA: 420 MG: 1500 DKH: 8.8
