Briopis question

[cdemoss01]

Hello,
I killed all briopis in my tank recently but it's starting to come back due to the roots. Is it possible for the roots to die from low nutrients?

How did you kill it?

I used Reef Flux (Flucanazole) in the past and my Bryopsis did not come back.

I scrubbed all my rocks and it got scrubbed off etc.

If you don't get the roots pulled it will grow back. Maybe if you fallow the tank but if you have livestock you're feeding it'll most likely grow back.

Can I kill it with low nutrients?

Can I kill it with low nutrients?

I don't think so, I had it growing in a fairly low nutrient system.

 

[JTP424]

It's fairly adaptable, so low nutrients will most likely not eradicate it.

Got it

I'll dose fluanzacole I guess it's already very weak. I turn off my skimmer and carbon right?

 

[JTP424]

correct!

The easiest way to eradicate it completely is Reef Flux. It will completely kill it and it will not come back unless it's reintroduced.

I would just remove skimmer cup/keep some kind of aeration. . . I swear I read somewhere that this med can reduce dissolved O2. . . I could be misremembering though

That's what I did. Seemed to work well.

 

[cdemoss01]

I just dosed it. Turned off skimmer and took out carbon. Anything else I should do? I dosed maxspect green control.

Keep us updated on progress.

 

[cdemoss01]

I kept my filter on all the way to produce oxygen etc.

I understand you are already treating, but in my tank, the little I had disappeared after I added a one spot foxface (mostly to eat bigger problem algae, such as caularpa racemosa).

Hmm Im not sure if I should buy one. I have plans for a tang, dwarf angel and a clown

This is absolutely true. I did a lot of research before dosing my nano and I'm running an air stone to be safe.
