That Trigger is a camera poser if I ever saw one.

Yeah he likes the camera he is always in front of it. He usually scares away the smaller fish that I am trying to take pictures of which is kindof annoying. Lol

Well I kind of did a lot of things at once which isn't the best thing to do. lol
At first I started bringing my magnesium up to like 1500 which slowed down the growth. Then I got a big tub of rowaphos even though my phosphate tested at basically zero I ran about half a litre in a reactor changing it out monthly. I started using kent tech-m magnesium supplement to bring my water change waters magnesium up to 1500 1600ppm I probably went through like 6 of the 64 oz bottles. I took out around 70 pounds of the live rock that was covered in bryopsis dried it out and put it in storage. I was doing 30 gallon water changes weekly from the beginning of the Bryopsis outbreak during every water change i slowly pulled it off the rocks using the suction tube and my thumb. If a rock got really bad and I could pull it out of my tank I would take it out and scrub all the bryopsis off it then rinse it with tank water. I also switched from zeovit to vertex biopellets.
