You will be doing the happy dance like the rest of us in no time!
Just got mine in, gonna dose the tank tonight. Not sure it's bryopsis but I hope it knocks the hell out of my gha.
Mine is running in front of the tank in a 5 gallon bucket with all my refugium algae, didn't want to lose my good algae
I agree with what I'm going through to treat and rid I would not want to introduce anything back in that was already in the tank not treated. I'm at the point with even any new Coral or Frags I want to buy and trade locals so I can actually see the tank they're coming from I think this all started from a frag I received
I can remember back when I ran PCs or homemade MH/T12 light fixtures,used IO salt,dripped pickling lime,topped off water by hand using an old milk jug,used some calcium chloride and baking soda here and there not really worrying about much as far as nutrients or parameters and my corals grew so fast they would fill up the tank. Now I try to use all the "top of the line" equipment and additives and play the "lets chase numbers game" and have nothing but issues and stress. Go figure
I am at day 9 for treating gha. About 75% of it is partially white and looks sickly. The rest is still green. Not much change over the last 48 hours. Not sure that it is going to knock it out. Anyone else have a stagnant period at the 8 to 9 day time slot?
You and I started about the same time. I agree that between days 8-10 it appears to slow or stop. Might be that we either don't have enough cuc eating it or the algae was too long to start with to be absorbed to the root or both. Or maybe due to the amount of algae in the first place we should have done a stronger dose from the start. My worst locations were the longest strands also and slowest to go atm. I am ordering extra cuc today to see if that helps.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too Joseph! Yes I was just commenting that I think the people who have super bad infestations with it might have needed to dose a little more than the base dose. I think that it soaks up all there is in the water column from the tips to the roots and if there's not enough to reach the root then you're going to have some left or it'll take a bit longer to clear up and possibly need a second treatment. Mine is 95% gone on day 11. I have no doubt that the rest of it will be gone but I've been concerned with the roots remaining by day 14. I am probably going to do a water change at that time and dose the tank one more time for good measure.
No i just got tired of it growing on everything and got rid of it, no corals, including anemones, were affected or even showed any side effects.
I'm going to order some more. I'm at day 14 and have roots still. Ill give it a few more days before anything else. I ran my skimmer after the first dose and then turned it off sense then. I may have pulled some out not dissolved yet so I have added the rest in sense then. not sure about the strength in there now but it has worked. may skim for a few days then add a full dose in again to knock out the roots. Ill wait until day 20 before dosing again. going to turn on the skimmer in a few minutes.Happy Valentine's Day to you too Joseph!

I shall be starting treatment at the end of the week as this works better for me as this is when I do my wc.
