Brypropis and GHA Treatment

[GHOSTLY]

my tank cycled in 3 weeks. Lights were on as per normal. I had some brown

If no lights is it near a window getting natural sunlight?

No nothing

 

[GHOSTLY]

Always keen on finding a natural
Remedy to nuisance issues. Berghias knocked out all my aiptasia. Go Reeftown.

I will but id rather deal with it now

 

[Rtaylor]

I can't legally get reef flux. I was thinking of dosing vibrant

What country are you from?

 

[workhz]

I can't legally get reef flux. I was thinking of dosing vibrant

Can’t get a prescription for fluconazole and just crush it yourself? Thought everything was free in the Canadian health care system

 

[GHOSTLY]

I wish it was that easy but being a minor its even harder

 

[GHOSTLY]

I was thinking perhaps vinegar dosing with skimming. Would thst kill brypropis and gha

 

[GHOSTLY]

this may extend your cycle but…. perhaps dosing hydrogen peroxide

How much and how long?

 

[shakacuz]

How much and how long?

depends on water volume. personally unsure myself. there are many threads on this and what it does if you search

 

[GHOSTLY]

Is there any more methods of getting rid of it? Any medication thats not reef flux

Bump. Trying to deal with this

Jellybean Slug (Onchidella floridana)* — The Wyld Zone

A very durable and unique slug capable of breathing air. This species will readily consume most algae including turf and bryopsis. This species is safe to handle outside of the water.

@The Wyld Zone setup a website to buy the bryopsis eating slug. give it a try along with a pair of pitho crabs from reefcleaners.org.

Oh my god I LOOOOOVE their Pitho crabs. They're just the cutest little crabs in the world. Seeing them pop out of the sand and waive their tiny little arms like maniacs is beyond adorable.
Totally recommend Pithos for any tank. And the folks at RC are great.

my 2nd time ordering from them. great folk indeed!

to add to my experience with the pitho crabs, @GHOSTLY, they went straight to town on my algae in the DT(i have 2 pitho crabs in my DT, and 2 female emerald crabs). unfortunately, if there is any on your glass, pumps, or return lines, they can't get to these spots, but anything on your sand or rockwork will get cleared. today, i received my 2nd order from reefcleaners that contained a pitho crab. dropped it in my sump and it, alongside my emerald crab(have a 3rd that is in my sump) are going to work on the rest of the bryopsis(GHA, and chaeto) in my sump. all you need is time, and some patience!

I’ve had good results using hydrogen peroxide. Squirt little each day on the algae and it’ll die off. If the tank is empty since you’re cycling it’s easier to take the rock out and clean it with a toothbrush and peroxide/saltwater mixture.

What parts do you use

What parts do you use

Store bought 3% hydrogen peroxide works.

So there are American companies that will ship reef flux to Canada, there’s a risk it could be confiscated at customs, but I hear that’s pretty uncommon. So something to consider. The best option would be if you could find a veterinarian to prescribe it.

Carbon dosing won’t kill bryprosis, it will eventually help with gha, but will take a coup months

Turn the lights off. Get some good bacteria dosing started to promote your biodiversity and let it run its course through this ugly stage. I recommend PNS probio which I have been dosing twice a week now for the past month. It has cleaned up my sand and rocks nicely. All natural bacteria. If you start dropping chemicals like vibrant or chemiclean in there you risk the chances of opening the door for multiple other problems on a new tank.
