Bryopsis outbreak

Rubymoon286 · Nov 12, 2020

So I've been battling hair algae in my nano display after it exploded after a hospital stay and an unrelated surgery. I've been scraping and removing as much as I can, and thought I was winning the battle finally, but ended up with a sudden bryopsis outbreak. I beat it before with meticulous micromanaging and vibrant, but with my display refugium, I don't want to kill off my macro with vibrant. I am also running GFO for phosphate management, and I change 25% of the system's water every two weeks. Any advice on how I can get after this?

Parameters

Salinity: 1.025
pH: 8.2
alk: 10
Nitrate: 0.25
Phosphates: reading zero on my Hanna, but I'm pretty sure it isn't accurate/it's tied up in the algae
Magnesium: 1260
Calcium: 440
