Kirk, I know the mag is for cal ingest buy have you used it to battle bryopsis?

 

[NC2WA]

Absolutely!!! however IME, Kent Tech M is the only product that will help the eradication of bryopsis.

I have been fighting some bryopsis and recently picked up some TECH M how much should you add to combat the bryopsis? Also I started dosing it and my Dark Green Toadstool is now Bright neon green. Could this be an interesting side effect or something else?

First, you need to get a Mg test kit, preferably Salifert or Elos.

You need to increase Mg level to 1600-1700 and keep at this level for a minimum of 4 wks. Once you start seeing die off, you can siphon it up, but do not manually remove it, doing so will release spores causing more byropsis to multiple..

So people have noticed some issues with SPS and inverts, but when I did it, I did not notice anything. I dont keep SPS, mainly LPS and was OK.

This method of treatment is NOT a panacea..It WILL take time and can't be rushed, so your patient cap needs to be put on.
