Is this bryopsis?

I see the frawns


It's Bryopsis

Oh man!! What!! Why!! How!

So is this a tank tear down situation, or not always? I've been putting away for WWC's live sale this month. I'll have a difficult time sitting out, unless I absolutely should not be adding coral to my tank.

Scrub brush. Been "battling" bryo for some time here.
Winning. And won.
With brushes.
Canister filter helped too.

I pulled out what i can and brushed it but i guess i did not brush it well enough. I put rock back in and next day saw a little cyano outbreak and today i see it growing back oon the two rocks by the powerhead at rapid speed. Should i turn off my mp40 and just have return for flow? No livestock in tank just few snails and an emerald crab

I pulled my powerhead out of my 20g. The flow of the canister seems to be enough to keep things happy. It may reduce the rate at which it grows but I doubt it will stop it all together.

Hmm. Could be new tank so it may pass.
Could be a good too. I can feed just about anything and my wife likes to feed way too much. But a couple capfuls of marine snow and it's like a teenager with chocolate.

I let me fuge grow out it seems to help with the bryo and the cyano.

Wish I would have taken more before pictures. How thick it was on my ATO, I had a few more patches that thick in the back chambers. Today I have no visible (living) bryopsis, none of it was manually removed. Going to keep a sharp eye out for more breakouts. Thanks so much for the guidance @twilliard.

Any day!
Remember H2O2 is a tool and don't forget its power to us reefers as it has many uses :)
