My addiction 300DD

[Aquattro]

Peroxide has worked well for me, just time consuming. I've removed rocks and basted and that did it long term. Just blasted some with yesterday's water change, slowly chipping away it it.

Now, I have taken out all the rocks and dipped them in peroxide and so far it looks promising, I got my fingers crossed and if this doesn't work then I'll be setting up a new tank to transfer everything over and re-set the dt.

Did you use Tech M by Kent Marine?

Its not the magnesium that kills off bryopsis, it's a secret ingredient in the tech m recipe that seems to do it.

Don't blame your addiction on other people buddy lmao!
Sorry about the fish. Maybe it and the small orca you call an Achilles had a disagreement?
Your FTS doesn't do the tank justice. Last time I was there it looked like a completely different tank. Corals lightened up in color due to less nutrients in tank? Better flow from powerheads? Looking forward to seeing more progress.

I've given up on keeping Flashers & Fairy Wrasses just because they will jump and either carpet surf even with the glass lids (they aim for the spaces in between I'm sure) or they smack into the glass and knock themselves dead. Sorry to hear about your loss. It was a beauty. I'll have to pop in one day and check out the new tank. Looks great.

Made the mistake of adding a couple of sps into my tank and now I'm starting to check out other sps to add, like RR Red Dragon. Arrrg, this addiction is never ending. I've always liked the appropriateness of this Tank Journal's name

I am glad I went with bare bottom, made things so much easier. how many times did you do that Brad before it is completely eliminated?

I used Tech M with several different range of mag level. I suspect it only works on certain types of bryopsis and not all.

I don't blame anyone except for Jess, he is the reason why I am back in.....just when I thought I can get out they pull me back in!

I will snap a better full tank shot soon.

For the rocks I pulled and did it over the sink, first time. I have a couple rocks I did 6 months ago, still clean. I used 29% H2O2, don't get it on your hands! Or corals.

If you are gluten for punishment then please, by all means, give them a try. just kidding. If you are looking for a challenge, not just to keep them alive but to manipulate the coloration then this is it! Come in to the dark side!

Thanks Brad, I will use that next time instead of the 3 percent.

Just want to say that the peroxide dip has slowed down the growth of my (Dave's) bryopsis dramatically. I am seeing a slight glimpse of hope. Will continue to dose vinegar and peroxide to maintain water clarity and nutrient control.

For anyone that want a reference for the dosing regime, this is what I do...I am dosing 10 ml of peroxide 3% daily and 12ml of vinegar (recommended dosage is 1 ml per 10 gallons and monitor the tank to adjust dosage), of course this is working for me but might not work for you, so it's all subjective.

Coral master's grape soda, I had a nub that was broken off from shipping and I put it on the disk to see if it will survive, look at it now...lol






Neat little aussie piece, color should turn out blood red, it's yellow greenish.
