    This is bryopsis, right?

    I've read some other threads and it sure looks like it. I'm having a heck of a time getting it out. I've used Vibrant and manual extraction, but it seems to come roaring back... assuming I don't get the roots out. I have a 250 gallon tank with large rock structures so getting it all out...

    Treating Bryopsis and Valonia as Desirable Macroalgae?

    We have all heard about strenuous, frustrating battles against the Sea fern (Bryopsis sp.) and Bubble algae (Valonia sp.), but can they be viewed in a positive light? I have heard, on a few occasions, that Bryopsis and Valonia are excellent additions to planted marine aquariums for their...

    AIO Build Mike’s AquaTop Recife ECO 40g AIO

    I’m new to modern day reefing. 38 years ago I had a 29 gallon show tank. Had it back when I was in high school. Was so easy to take care of. Had a little glass hydrometer to monitor temp and specific gravity. Barely did anything to the tank and had long living moray, lion fish and cow fish...

    Bryopsis. Flux rx and chaeto?

    Hello! I've got bryopsis growing in my tank and today I have some flux rx (fluconazole?) arriving in the mail box. I'm not really sure what to do with the chaeto in my refugium. Some people say leave it in the system, since if I pull it out before the treatment and then put it back...

    Algae ID please.

    Can you help me identify this algae? It’s only on a couple rocks, I thought it’s bryopsis but I’m not 100% sure. Pulling it off the rocks is difficult but not impossible. The root system holding it down is very strong.

    What would you do - Bryopsis edition

    Hi Reefers, I have the tiniest amount of bryopsis starting to grow. 95% sure it is bryopsis anyways. It is much more stiff than hair algae. I'm hesitant to treat the tank because I just don't like putting any chemicals or additives into it. I'm a pretty firm believer that in most instances...

    Bryprosis or GHA?

    I was working on my bi-weekly water change and this week I cleaned out all my equipment in my tank. Well, when I was looking in the sump, I noticed quite a bit of either GHA or Bryprosis in the sump of my AIO. Any tips on removing or whatnot and how to keep it from spreading? I'm starting to...

    Cycling Tank - Is this Bryopsis or just GHA?

    Hi all, I’m on week 3 of cycling my new 40g cube. No fish yet. Things having been going well, but this algae showed up over the last few days. I’m hoping it’s just GHA, but am concerned it’s bryopsis and that I may need to take action to remove ASAP. Any help IDing would be greatly appreciated.

    Is this bryopsis?

    Green algae type thing growing on rock work. Quite tough and stuck into rocks. Heard bryopsis can be a pain but responds well to fluconazole. Just wanted second opinion before I start dosing. Thanks
