Reef Flux and RBTA

[BAMslam93]

Has anyone used Reef Flux with a bubble tip anemone in the tank? The bryopsis in my tank came back with a vengeance even after doing two rounds of flux before I got my bta but I'm concerned it would be negatively impacted by the treatment. It's a pretty small one right now and I've had it for about a month and a half.

i have. no ill effects. just dose accordingly to your tank size.

Ah okay; I'm confused on why the bryopsis came back especially since my nitrate is now at 4 ppm and phosphate at 0.03 ppm, maybe it's consuming so much nutrients?

likely.

it helps having another macro algae that grows quickly to outcompete the bryopsis(or other nuisance algae), or especially a refugium running opposite light cycle

Those levels are plenty for bryopsis.

Hi all, my nem is looking weird after I did a water change and added a half dose of Flux to finish off the bryopsis roots and GHA. I started a new thread with more details: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/rbta-tentacles-shriveled-and-disc-is-flat.1083493/
