Brandon429, Another reefer convinced me that this algae I have been dealing with was bryopsis, so I treated with fluconazole. It has been in my system for over 5 weeks, and it has knocked the algae way back, but there are still small patches and now I have a dino cyano mix all over my rocks. Anyway, I dont know what this stuff is, but I am ready to be rid of it. I am thinking of going ahead and doing the hydrogen peroxide treatment. At this point I want the algae gone worse than I want to protect my Pink Floyd and other favorite corals! So i am going to remove the rocks I can and use a knife and scrape it off and then use peroxide.3% good safe bet, and kills pretty safely as this concentration scheme.

Good update and I rechecked your pics to see the overall tank / setup again and have some opinions matched to your timeframe and tradeoff invasion specifics:
I'm aware it's a larger system with $ corals but we are now on compensation round number two for having kept cloudy detritus in the system. Peroxide isn't indicated in cyano battling even if a few posts show it to work, we shouldn't take guesses with that type of tank as we know exactly what it takes to stop cyano and it's this:

I have 75 watts of UV running currently. It is from 3 different 25 watt units. Two are run in a series ( ones output going into the intake of the next one). Is there a flow and setup for these that you would recommend?treating cyano wo peroxide and wo takedown:
Let me know about UV sterilizer options you're willing to entertain, that's your best bet for affecting the broadest spectrum of matted invaders who tradeoff using organic stores as substrate
UV doesn't remove cyano (nor detritus) but it hecka prevents growback under two conditions:
-oversized for your system, not correctly sized off a graph or by the manufacturer. Pick a pond sterilizer off Amazon not an aquarium sterilizer. Don't concern over looks, mount it on your front glass if required this is war and it doesn't have to stay on or mounted after we take ground
Here is a full tank shot
I tried a very small dose directly over one small algae patch. My clam stayed closed for two days and it scared me. After posting on many threads the most common consensus was it was bryopsis, so I dosed fluconazole. It killed it, but it took 10 weeks. It came back 5 weeks later, but I think i reinfected the tank using equipment that was not treated with fluconazole. Now I am treating again with all equipment attached.Did you end up dosing the hydrogen peroxide?
