Hi,

I would have to respectfully disagree; in my case, I used several kilos of Mag salt(BRS), to no avail, the Kent Tech M worked very well for me. However, I did not try any other manufacturer brand

Alright, all i know is, I had a small outbreak a few years back and used BRS mag and brought it up....went away....i keep my mag up all the time and havent had it return, in any of my SPS tanks..... so i dunno. I guess the moral of the story is use whatever works for ya?

Cheers!

Steve

would say started with neglecting water changes but even though getting back on the tank, since the stuff is established it's hard to get rid of.

guess my point is, unless you figure out what it is that is causing your flare ups you will likely be having an on going war with the bryopsis....raising your Mg will work to help get rid of it , but having your Mg that high throws your water chemistry way out of balance..... you should try and think about what is at the "root" of the problem......
