I have been suffering with a terrible byropsis outbreak for over a year and a half now. I have tried every "cure" I have ever heard of, even switching tanks a year ago. I have tried raising the mag (with epsom salts, not tech M), changing my lighting, adding predators including various types of snails, lettuce nudis, sea hares, hermits, rabbitfish, tangs, I have tried other things including changing skimmers, shooting peroxide at it, pulling it out manually (by the handful), taking rocks out and baking them in the sun, algaefix marine etc, etc, etc. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to get rid of the stuff. I cannot remember all the things I have tried. So, I wanted to document what I finally did to get rid of this stuff.
4/19 I began using Microbacter 7, adding 55 ml/day (I have a 240 gallon tank and a 60 gallon sump).
4/22 - I also began raising my mag using tech M.
4/23 - Mag 1380
4/24 - Mag 1500
4/26 - Mag 1620 - Began noticing results, so I quit raising the mag. Continued with the MB7 additions daily.
Here are pics of the results:
