    Bryopsis confirmation

    I assume this is Bryopsis, but just wanted to confirm. Thoughts? Went on vacation and came back to this in the tank…not fully invaded just yet and want to get it under control. Have already ordered Reef Flux.

    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...

    Fluconazole for bryopsis

    Hi reefers. I posted this on the Bryopsis thread but I think because it’s such a massive thread that’s a couple of years old, no one saw it.

    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

    Thunder Goose Declares WAR on ALGAE - Two Month Update

    I haven't been thrilled with my tank for a while. My corals don't seem to grow, just limp along for 4-6 months then die. So I decided they weren't getting enough of something. Tried using BRS 2-part. Nope. Tried allowing nutrients in the tank to rise and... guess what? The corals are STILL...
