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.
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...
I posted a few days ago and didn’t get any helpful responses. Can someone please help me identify this algae? I scrubbed my tank and did a water change Friday evening and now it has all just come back so quickly.
Is this GHA or bryopsis? Or is it something else by chance? I want to...
ok so i have bryopsis the good thing is that my astrea snails and my tail spot eat it but not fast enough
and i reduced feeding to try and help starve it out
but here’s the thing looking online at reef flux i see that some people say it kills fish and inverts which worries me on how to use...
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...
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.
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...
So, I bought a frag from a local reefer. The frag started growing bryopsis on the polyps so I did a Hydrogen Peroxide dip and it went away. Two weeks later the bryopsis is back and thicker.... About to try Flux RX but has anyone seen this or have any other tips to add? After I did the...
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. So posting here in the hope that someone can answers me. So I started Floconazole treatment yesterday, and I was an idiot today and decided it was time to...
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...
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.
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
Hi,
I’m currently having issues with Bryopsis algae and it’s the second day of treatment with Fluconazol. I was using GFO, weeky water change with Brightwell salt and RO/DI water, Brightwell resin to remove nitrate, 24/7 hours refugium with caulerpa and only fed my tank 1 time per day. My tank...
Hey All,
I added a frag to my tank and have noticed some questionable algae. Can you please help me ID. I will share 3 different patches of Algae so an ID on each one would be helpful. To me pictures 1 and 2 look like Bryopsis and possibly 3 as well. If so, should I be removing the frag and...
So about I week ago I had dosed my tank for Bryopsis using the Fluconazole method, however my question is—- it has for sure started dying but the majority of it is actually growing on the glass, can I just scrape it off the glass and let the filter do it’s thing? It shouldn’t land and spread...
It seems trust worthy from a lab, idk why the reef hd reef flux brand has me nervous due to a few reviews, or if anyone has used reef flux or can link me to a reputable Fluconazole online.
Thanks in advance
I have a small nano tank of around 30gallons and invested a lot of moneys in coral and livestock (designer clown). I am currently battling with a bryopsis issue and realise I have to deal with it as it is suffocating my corals (mainly zoas).
I came with the conclusion that only elevated...
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...
For the record, there is no "cure" for algae as it's not a disease. That's the only reason the word "cure" is in the title. :)
Now for HOW to spot-treat algae! (More about "why" after the how...)
Fill a small syringe with 1-2 mL of regular hydrogen peroxide
Shut off all flow and wait for the...
Hello all,
First, let me apologize if all of this has been answered in other posts. I am planning on beginning my 2 week dosing cycle and I wanted to confirm that I am doing everything correctly, so please by all means save me from myself.
I have a 29 gallon Biocube, so I am planning on...
