Thanks Brandon. I've lost a lot but man everytime I see a nice tank I get that little bit of energy to fight on.

Really well! The algae's are losing. Bryopsis is still hanging tough but seems to be thinning out and slowed down in growth. This is looking real promising!

In the Vibrant thread it does mention that bryopsis takes quite a bit more rounds of dosing than most of the other algae so I suspect it will take us all a few weeks to really see the difference

2ml a gallon I thought it is 1ml per 10gl?

Dosing 2x a week is my guess what that means. Same here.

I should get my vibrant in tomorrow, will updates photos of my tank and capture my bryopsis infestation for you guys; it's gotten really bad since I started my new job and haven't been able to keep up with trimming it.

I got my bottle and just started treatment. Even though I've posted in the other Vibrant thread, I'll still come back to this one also.

Thank you!
I'm done with the third dose, not a lot of change but it was fairly widespread in the tank. Never really thick just everywhere, argghh! I am continuing manual removal as well, is anyone else? Or are you just dosing Vibrant and waiting? Man I hope this product works, tempted to just pour the whole dang bottle in, hah hah, just joking but so tired of this weed!

I will be doing manual removal as well, I think if it will help speed up the process.

You should continue to try to remove as much of it as possible. The less the vibrant needs to work at the better. As it grows and gets long, Bryopsis acts as a nitrate net. I believe the combination of weekly manual removal, suggested dosing of Vibrant, and WC's will eventually eliminate this beast once and for all, but we shall see.
I dont have a skimmer or sump in my 20g set up. I have a 4.5 gallon canister filter with a UV bulb. I have tried using the UV bulb and ive never noticed anything beneficial to the system, and one adverse effect. An overheating tank of 86 degrees. I think this overheating issue may have only helped the algae's grow even more. So beware of the UV bulbs in the SUN SUN canister filters. Otherwise good bang for the buck imo.

I am taking it slow, just did my second dose of the week only 1ml per 10gl so I have done 6 ml this week. I believe I am seeing some results already. I may do a little manual maintenance on 1 tank but the other I am kind of interested to see what the Vibrant does on its own.
I will do standard WC still
