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...
I have some bryopsis in my nano reef(5 gallon) and it's just started to spread, I had it on a zoa frag but I didn't know what it was and I waited to long to remove the frag. I've read that fluconazole will get rid of it, my question is does it matter what kind of fluconazole, does it have to be...
Okay, I've ordered my flucon and as soon as it gets here, I'm going on a Bryopsis killing spree....
I have been trying to get this under control forever. Started in April with Nopox, added Vibrant in May, and in June, Biodigest. Nothing works, not even some H2ho dosing.
Nitrates remain at...
How to get rid of aquariums algae for good.
This method is best for getting rid of pest algae on frag plugs but will work just as well on rocks. Getting rid of algae the correct way is not a quick process. It could take from 2 weeks to month. If you want the quick and lazy way to get rid of...
i've had an ongoing battle with this junk for a couple years in my bc29. it's been isolated to the top portion of just one rock, but i still wanted to get rid of it. i've tried three different batches of tech m but none of them did the trick. here's my dosing log and some pics. i've been...
Hi guys!
A couple months ago I set up a 75 gallon reef in which I used a few rocks from the previous system to add to the new display. I must have brought bryopsis to the new tank with the old rock. Today, my tank has quite a few patches of bryopsis on the sand bed and rock. I have been dosing...
Hey guys! I just wanted to share my page with you and an article I just wrote that may be helpful.
