Hmmm first I've heard. Been 2 1/2 months and haven't seen a speck in my tank.
A second dose should be ok. You're probably right, must've been some deeper roots it couldn't get at

I'm going to give it a week. I want to make sure its actually bryopsis and not a green turf/hair algae. It's still thin but very dense right now so its hard to tell.

I have been bryopsis free for over 2 months, no sign of regrowth. This is my old tank, I am just waiting for the right time to tank the tank down and re-locate it downstairs to be a frag tank. I have done no maintenance on it other then the odd water change, My phosphate levels are through the roof and not a sign of algae growth.

This stuff didn't just slow it down it for me it completely rid the tank of any sign of the algae. I have had byopsis in this tank for 15 years before this.

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.

Mine took a while to completely clear up. The one thing I did find was onc e the hair algae went the cyno kicked in. Probably all the nutrients from the dead algae had to go somewhere. If I were you I would turn my skimmer back on immediately to help export some of those nutrients. I would also hold off dosing again.

Just because the algae is still there is it actually growing actively like it did before. What you might find is the algae is still there but not growing and will eventually fade away into oblivion. Do you have any herbivores?
