This Payless site looks like a front to sell antibiotics without a script. There's no way that you would use most of them for fish. But I'm in on this bryopsis game. Has everyone bought from them safely? I guess PayPal will keep me from any financial harm.

Everyone order ok from them?

lol I thought the same thing and assumed this stuff was coming from China or something. I had no troubles though and it came in 3 days from Minnesota

I've ordered from them twice with no issues.
 
I haven't received my order yet, but one pill is 200mg so 1 pill per 10 gallons.

I went with 20 capsules for my 40b...If you need to use 1capsule/10gal, then I shouldn't use more than 5 capsules, so I have 4 total attempts. The $/capsule difference between 20 and 30 was none, so I didn't want to throw away an extra $10 if it doesnt work.

Do you have a sump or fuge with your 40b?

Edit: I see that you do in your sig but I dont know what the water volume is for it.

Not right now its just a frag tank. I will be adding my sump again, but no point adding more water volume until I eliminate this stuff completely.
 
@NCreefguy did you have to treat more than tan once. I read most of the thread but must have missed it. So I only do one dose and then wait???

I just dosed 1 time. I'll post another pic when the lights come on again tomorrow but from what I saw this evening.....It's alllll gone :)

I would probably go with 3 capsules in your 40b if you have frag stands,powerhead,heater and things takes your water volume down to probably 32-35 gallons. So 32-35gal x 20mg/gal = 640-700mg. 3 capsules should be fine
 
I've read all the 37 pages and all the posts to be up to date. I've ordered my capsules last night for my 30 cube. It's very low tech with hob filter stock carbon filter pad and a Berlin 90 air stone skimmer.
P04 is .05
N03 is .25 I think(I can't tell from the salifert testing kit it's too hard to determine)
Ncreefguy I see that your waiting to do a water change for 2 weeks which is what most of us are going to do but I haven't seen anyone ask how much to change since no longer term effects have been determined. With that being said could a 50 percent or even 100 percent wc be detrimental to corals after the waiting period is over?

My thinking for that is with the water change it would remove all the medication from the system.
 
That's excellent!! Be sure to post some pics. We like seeing dying Bryopsis :D
I will grab a pic tomorrow. Lights are out now and my wife and I were busy tonight so I could not get a pic. This is one of the greatest things that I have experienced in my 12 years of reefing. This is a godsend, assuming there are no long term repercussions.
 
I got rid of it years ago with high Mg and constant small dosing of tech-m at 1600ppm. I was out of town a lot recently and hadn't kept an eye on my stats and everything dropped out. I put gallons of tech-m in and got it back up and have slowed down the nasty stuff. I think this is the option I'm going to try. You would think it couldn't live with ulns but this stuff is a monster. Like others have said it embarrassing to take pictures of or show other people.

Ordering now...
