I have been raising nutrients to combat dinos recently. My refugium has started to have this stuff pop up. Looks like bryopsis to me. Would like a second opinion.

Part 2:
Would you use fluconazole while battling dinos?
Would you use Vibrant?
Would you do something else/nothing?
Stay the course?

Throwing out a bump to hopefully catch some people during a better time.


Also curious if anyone has any insight if that brown stuff on the right is dinos too?
 
Dinos and algae. Flux and vibrant will not worl, however . . . . . . . . . .

Prepare for a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights and work your white lights up slowly

Will hydrogen peroxide kill my copepods and SPS? I have a mandarin that I would need to figure out a solution for if so.

Should be safe
 
Anyone able to confirm if that think that algae is bryopsis?
