Briopis question

[cdemoss01]

Day 3 of treatment. No signs of change yet. I'll update once lights are on. Changed filter floss and phosphate pads out today also cleaned the filter off from dead briopis. I have 10 gallons to do a water change soon. @Randy Holmes-Farley what else would you recommend?

It'll take a few more days to see ant change. (Ime)
Mine took a week to see any start to wilt

I would not do anything else until you know if this is working. :)

Hmm alright

Also, KEEP LIGHT ON. . . I do not know why, but others have observed that the Reef Flux seems more effective in high light areas, even seeing some patches of "shaded" algae survive. . . I have no real science to back this up, but I ran lights as normal when dosing for both bryopsis and for GHA and it worked/is working.

I had a really big briopsis problem. It was everywhere completely taking over my tank. So I ran a slightly risky solution. I doubled the amount suggested. Turned all my filtration off and waited. It took about four weeks but at the end of that timeframe, there’s not a spec of briopsus left anywhere in my tank. It does work, I had to be patient, and I had to turn all my filtration off. Roller mat, scrubber pump, skimmer, carbon, and GFO. All of it off.

Did anything survive?

lights? Light off for a month would likely have worked by itself

Did anything survive?

Yes everything except the Briopsis. I was very very surprised that nothing else died. The briopsis was so bad that I was willing to accept anything upmto and including the loss of everything. At the far end 0f that 4 week tunnel, I kept thinking “how is everything surviving in this cruddy water?” Both of my clams survived, all my corals, all my fish, inverts etc..
