Algae ID

bowen1022 · Jul 3, 2016

I have a bit of hair like algae growing in my tank and I have a feeling it is the devil a.k.a bryopsis. can anyone ID it for me? Also if it is bryopsis does Kent Tech M still work for beating it? I've heard the formula changed.

Sorry for the poor quality they are taken with my phone

@twilliard Maybe you can help

The thing about techM is that they changed their formula quite some time ago.
The new formula does nothing against bryopsis
You have to find an old bottle of it.
Bryopsis is a tough one to deal with. H2O2 directly on it kills it if you are able to do this.

I'm assuming I'll have to take the rocks out for this? Also I am going to be transferring my coral into a larger tank in about a month, is there a dip that kills bryopsis so I can make sure it doesn't transfer in a frag?
