Bryopsis in Biocube 29

[The new fish on the block]

I recently added a frag that had bryopsis on it and noticed it is now on my rock. How do i get rid of it?

You might want to look into Hydrogen Peroxide. The rock and possibly the frag might be able to be dipped in a mild solution to help rid them of this algae.
Raising the Magnesium is another option, but I wouldn't do this unless you've really got an infestation on your hands. GL.

I also have a hair algae problem will raising the magnesium kill that off also

I don't think so. I think it's strictly used for Bryopsis, but I could be wrong.

@cloak how would i go about dipping the frag in peroxide its a favia?

In my experience, a capful of peroxide in about 3-4 cups tank water for about 3 minutes.

Just know that it doesn't make the algae disappear, it turns white and does of.


Peroxide is also deadly to alot of inverts so keep that in mind.
