If you wanna try something natural try blue legged hermit crabs. In the past I've seen stuff like that get mowed down by them.
Boodlea composita

Most of these are surgeon fish or rabbitfish, neither of which I can add to my system right now. I might be able to add an Angel, but has anyone heard of Angels really going after nuisance algae like this? I know they're omnivores, but...
NVM I just realized how small it isLooks more like a macro like chaeto to me
I am just finishing up on bryopsis. I stopped too quick and had a rebound. I began a twice a week routine on August 25, 2018. I missed three doses about a month ago.
70g tank received 7ml on Monday and Friday.
Really glad to see this. I have some nasty turf/hair algae that I've been dealing with and you're getting me motivated to try it again. I must have stopped a little early with my dosing.Last Update:
Total Dose Count of 8ml: 23
Total Dose Count of 4ml: 2
Turf Algae - 8-20 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)
Bryopsis - 6-30 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)
Results:
The stuff is completely gone, no sign of it at all. My advice with vibrant is to monitor your nutrients very closely, in addition to it's relation to your ALK. I doubt the routine recommended daily maintenance dose will not affect your nutrients that much, but if you're trying to wipe out a pest algae it definitely will. This stuff did wipe out my chaeto and from my eyes stunted the growth of my mangroves. I allowed my ALK to drop slowly over time and kept it stable once it was at a desired level. I also cut back on filter sock changes and beefed up my feeding to keep my system from going too low on nutrients. When you no longer have to clean your glass, it's obvious your nutrients are on the low side.
Overall, I'd call it a success... i'll update this thread if it comes back. I would recommend this stuff to fellow reefers for pest algaes or routine maintenance.
