Dosed reef Flux to kill of the bryopsis. It did is job and killed it, now, how do I remove the dead algae? I've used scrapers, a toothbrush, and my fingers. Haven't made a dent in it.

I just finished a Reef Flux dosing period to kill my bryopis issue - most just melted away ( my outbread wasn't terrible - just a few spots here and there as well as on the power heads). I sucked up the remaining dead bryopsis with the syphon during a water change (pinch methos with your thumb). There are still some very small dead amounts left but i'll just leave it be unless i see them somehow come back to life.

I've done the pinch and siphon, but lots of cracks and crevices.

I'll watch for your updates - i'm not really stoked to take any rocks out and clean them as my tank is quite established and that would be major surgery. I'm hopeful that the remaining pieces are dead and will just wither away

Yeah, majority of my rockwork is glued together. No way in hell I'm taking rocks out.
