Treating Bryopsis with Reef Flux

[ParkerK]

If my Biocube is 32 gallons it says 1 capsule for every 10 gallons, so I use 3. Do I use 3 every day for a certain period of time or do I only use 3 for one day and let it run its course? I’ve used 6 at this point...

You will be fine going with 3. You only put it in once.

I put 16 in for my 120, but I know how it effects my tank, thus a little more. You don't run carbon or a skimmer either as it will pull it out of the water.

Ok, yeah I removed the carbon!

Since you have already dosed 6, I would just let it run its course. It will not look like its not doing anything until a week or so down the road.

I actually treated my biocube 32 the other day and it removed about 95% of the bryopsis but a little bit still remains. It not do much to the green hair algae like many people said it would. Dose 3 capsules once and let it sit for 14 days, turn off media.

It worked really well for me after about 8 days:

Yea dont over dose.
Mine got rid of hair algae.
I did a half dose on my 120 with good results.
Never turned off the skimmer.
I did remove carbon.
I put carbon back in when treatment was complete. Then added 1 astrea snail per 2 gallons of water. So 60+.
I did a 10 gallon water change only, < 10%. Then ran carbon for a week then replaced it with new.
The snails will keep the algae at bay as long as it is short.
They wont touch it if it gets long.
6 months no algae present.
