So it's been 19 days and about 90% of my algae is gone. To be fair it wasn't the standard bryopsis. Perhaps a different strain or a hair / turf algae. Hard to pull out but not feathery.
Anyway I would like to turn my skimmer back on soon. I typically did do 10% water changes every week which I have not been doing during treatment. Tank is actually not suffering at all and I've had 0 losses but I will soon be doubling my bioload (current stock is only 4 chormis and clownfish in 112g).
To completely eliminate I can either wait longer, or dose again. Thoughts? Of course I would have preferred 100% effectiveness but I'm still very impressed with this treatment. Take for instance algae growing on sponges on the rock which if you were to pull out you'd take half the sponge with you. That algae is gone and the sponge not effected at all other than you can see it again.
