ultra algea X: comment & reviews?

[Jlobes]

has anyone used this product and had any success with it? Particularly with bryopsis. Seems as if most of the FM line is still slightly difficult to obtain and hasnt seen much use in the US.

I dont have a terrible issue with algae at the moment, but want to nip it in the bud early. I have manually removed much of it at times and of course it comes back. And I know the typical responses of lower phosphates and dont overfeed, etc. I am definitely not overfeeding, run carbon and GFO. Admittedly, altering(shortening) the light cycle may help some and I have not been proactive on that.

Really just curious if people have used the Fauna Marin Ultra AlgeaX and if you had positive/negative results. Heres a link if you are unfamiliar with the product:

Thanks again.

thanks for the bump. Seems as if I will be the first to use it! well, I have it here at the house, and was trying to get a bit of input before I stepped up and just used it. Ill have to do a before and after kinda write up/review thing i guess. I have done a large amount of manual removal of algae last night while doing a WC. So, the before and afters won't be so alarming! lol. But, I do have some photos of the invasion at one of its worst points...so, ill post that too.

Some "at its worst" photos. Most with B&w but one with just white to really see it!!

do you have a fuge with macro algae in it? the product doesn't say if it will also harm the marcos or not

I do have a sump/fuge with macro. I plan on removing the chaeto before I add in the product. Well, actually I was going to remove about 50-75% and leave some in to see how it will react. Thanks for the forward thinking and suggestion.
